Abstract	The liturgy regulated not only the medieval monk’s daily life, but also paralleled the entire span of his/her life. This session will explore various ways in which liturgical sources present (“stage”) different parts of the monastic life cycle. How did the liturgy articulate this cycle? How did the liturgy acknowledge performers or participants at different stages in this cycle? What sort of accommodation was made for the different manner in which individuals at these different stages could participate in the liturgy?
