Eastern Christian liturgy

Eastern Christian liturgy refers to the sacred worship practices of Eastern Orthodox and Eastern Catholic churches, centered around the Divine Liturgy. It emphasizes communal prayer, scripture reading, hymns, incense, and Eucharist, often conducted in a rich, sensory environment with icons, candles, and chant. The liturgy unites believers through a reverent, mystical experience, highlighting the mystery of Christ’s presence and salvation. It combines ancient traditions with a focus on divine beauty and transcendence, fostering deep spiritual connection and participation in God's covenant through a structured, highly symbolic ceremony.
