[edit] Ritual language

The Mozarab Christians still practice their faith in Arabic and Spanish languages in many parts of Spain. New members need to prove that they are descendents of Christians who lived in parts of Spain when it was under Muslim rule. While most hymns are in Arabic, a certain amount of Hebrew is still present in their Christian service.

I doubt the part on languages. As I say in Talk:Mozarabic rite:

Are you sure that the rite has parts in Arabic? The usual tongues of Mozarabs and Muladis would be Mozarab languages. Arabic was a language of culture, but I doubt that they would hold mass in it. The linked Catholic Encyclopedia article has quotes in Latin and Greek but no Arabic.

I also doubt elements of Hebrew beyond some Hallelujah and Maran atha. The current mass book has Latin and Spanish. --Error 23:42, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Reverting some anonymous contentions

• There is no reason to suppose that Visigoth landlords remaining on their lands was "rare".
• Christians could not build new churches: no reason to obscure this.
• No "systematic elimination" of Christianity was undertaken. Strictures against Christians were tightened after the decade of the "martyrs of Cordoba" and not before.
• References to modern situations reveal the non-historical bias of an uninformed and anonymous editor.

- could not build new churches without permission, strictly speaking, I think. sometimes given. Johnbod 14:41, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] could do with section on Mozarab art

which I don't think is covered elsewhere Johnbod 02:10, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

Furthermore, I think Mozarabic art deserves its own article. I could help with architecture, but I am not an expert in illuminated manuscripts. Mozarabic music could be an important section. --Garcilaso 12:50, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Mozarab brotherhood nowadays

Here [1], [2] there are references for the existence of the Mozarab brotherhood in Toledo. I remove the tag--Garcilaso 15:40, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
