Connecting every word to its layered contextual meaning within the liturgical texts of the Eastern Nicene churches in their historical and living traditions...

This is a conceptual example of the ELHI Knowlege Graph™ to be produced by the Eastern Liturgies Heritage Institute (ELHI).
The graph starts from two words in the Greek Byzantine Divine Liturgy (τὰς θὺρας - tas thyras), a phrase repeated twice by the deacon or priest in the Divine Liturgy: "The doors! The doors!"
What doors is the Deacon referring to? And why does he say this?
This knowledge graph records layered answers to these questions. Just as the word "meaning" itself has multiple contextual meanings (signification, significance, and import), even so the "meaning" of the phrase "tas thyras" depends on which layer of context we are considering. The layers of context are indicated by color coded node categories.
