Eastern Catholic liturgy

Eastern Catholic liturgy refers to the worship practices of Eastern Catholic Churches, which are in communion with the Pope but follow distinct liturgical traditions rooted in Eastern Christianity. These liturgies often emphasize rich symbolism, chant, incense, and elaborate vestments, incorporating Byzantine, Alexandrian, or Syriac rites. They celebrate the Divine Liturgy, similar to the Eucharist, but structured differently from Western Mass. Overall, Eastern Catholic liturgies blend deep historical rituals with reverence, fostering a sense of mystery and community while maintaining doctrinal unity with the broader Catholic Church.
