Divine Liturgy

The Divine Liturgy is the central worship service of the Eastern Orthodox Church, analogous to the Mass in Western Christianity. It is a sacred ritual that combines prayers, hymns, Scripture readings, and the Eucharist—sharing bread and wine believed to become the body and blood of Christ. The service celebrates Christ’s incarnation, death, and resurrection, fostering spiritual communion among the congregation. It emphasizes reverence, community, and divine presence, serving as the spiritual heart of Orthodox worship and a profound expression of faith and devotion.
