Dans l'Église orthodoxe et les Églises orientales catholiques qui suivent le rite byzantin, la '''Synaxe''' (en grec: ''Σύναξις''; slaves: ''Собор'', Sobor) est le nom donné aux réunions des chrétiens à des fins liturgiques, généralement à travers la célébration des [[Vêpres]], [[Matines]], [[Petites Heures]] et la [[Divine Liturgie]].
==Feast day==
In [[Constantinople]], the clergy and faithful would often gather together on specific [[feast day]]s at a church dedicated to the saint of that day for liturgical celebrations. These gatherings were referred to as ''synaxes''. These synaxes came to have services written specifically for them. A Synaxis often occurs on the day following a [[Great Feast|Major Feast Day]] and is in honor of saints who participated in the event. For example, services on the Feast of [[Epiphany (holiday)|Theophany]] (the revelation of the [[Trinity]] at the [[Baptism of Jesus]] in the [[River Jordan|Jordan]]) would be held at [[Hagia Sophia]]; then, the next day, a Synaxis was observed in honor of [[John the Baptist|St. John the Forerunner]] at the church dedicated to him. Over time, the synaxes came into general use and are now celebrated in every church.
Synaxis can also refer to a common commemoration of a number of saints in a single service, such as the Synaxis of the [[Seventy Apostles]]. Each individual saint may have his or her own separate feast day, but they are all commemorated together on their synaxis.
Most synaxes are observed as [[Eastern Orthodox liturgical calendar|fixed feasts]], being celebrated on the same calendar date year after year, though some occur on the nearest Sunday to a particular date. Other synaxes are celebrated on the [[Paschal cycle]], moving backward or forward in the calendar according to the date of [[Easter|Pascha]] (Easter) that year.
The following are Synaxes which are universally observed in the [[Rite of Constantinople]]:
