This thesis aims to make some liturgical commentaries on Egeria's Journals. According to recent studies, Egeria, originally from Spain, was regarded as a religious woman who traveled to Jerusalem in the years between 381 and 384 when St. Cyril was patriarch of the Holy City. Chapters I to XXIV, the first part of the Journals, record liturgical figures of Jerusalem church, the so called stational liturgy. Stational liturgy, characterized as an urban phenomenon from the 4^<th> century, comes to prevail in major Christian cities. Jerusalem along with Rome and Constantinople was one of the representative places of the stational liturgy. This thesis, following John Baldovin's description, defines the stational liturgy as (1) an urban liturgy led by the bishop of that city, (2) mobile liturgy celebrated in different churches, (3) the choice of station depended on the feasts and seasons that the liturgy celebrates, (4) the Eucharist and the Liturgy of Hours, along with processions, are the main contents of the liturgy. Egeria begins with the description of the daily liturgy : On weekdays, it contains Matins, Lauds, the day Hours, and Vespers (Lucernarium) ; on Sunday, the Eucharist is a selection of all the ligurgies. The main station of everyday liturgy is Holy Sepulchre Complex which contains Martyrium (Basilica), Anastasis (Rotunda of the Resurrection), Chapel behind the Cross, Forecourt of the Basilica, etc. The Lenten season and Eastertide are the most mobile and active periods of time. All the people with the patriarch move from the Holy Sepulchre Complex to Sion, Eleona, Bethany, Lazarium, Imbomon, and Bethlehem, etc, that they may realize the significance of the events they celebrate. Every Christian liturgy is characterized by its function of remembrance (anamnesis) of Jesus, but the stational liturgy of Jerusalem was a special way of remembrance because it was the place where the liturgy was being remembered. The liturgy of Jerusalem in Egeria's time, therefore, was an effort to sanctify the time and the space realized by Jesus, the Christ.
