The author analyzes the hymnographic level of the novel; identifies specific features of adapting liturgical poetry to the literary (fiction) text; defines the functionality of liturgical texts in the ideological and thematic, as well as imaginative and motive structure of a literary work. Comparative analysis shows that novel's poetic attributes are similar to theological terminological metaphors typical for hymnography. Moreover, the content plane of The Inexhaustible Cup, due to the semantic parallelism with Akathist and, more broadly, with the hymnographic tradition, forms the Christian dogmatic metatext, which can be called Being in Christ. This enables the reader to identify intuitively Shmelev's novel as a piece of writing, related to poetic and didactic Christian texts in its spirit and language.http://poetica.pro/files/redaktor_pdf/1429870052.pdfhymnographyeaster canonheirmosakathistquotemetatext
