In the article the use of Byzantine elements in papal liturgies was shown. To shed some light on the topic, a historical overwiev of Greek influences on the celebrations of bishops of Rome was presented. The matter of utilisation of Epistle and Gospel readings in a Byzantine way, both with and without the use of Greek language, was elaborated. The custom of papal liturgy, related to coincidence of Easter dates in Julian and Gregorian calendars, was discussed. Some other things, such as the use of Trisagion in Roman and papal liturgy, and use of some other typically Byzantine elements in particular celebrations, were mentioned. In the end a hypothesis concerning changes in relations between the Byzantine rite and papal celebrations in the times of Benedict XVI was proposed.
