Liturgical Studies

Liturgical Studies is the academic field that examines the rituals, ceremonies, and practices of worship within various religious traditions. It explores the historical, cultural, and theological aspects of these practices, focusing on how communities express their beliefs through liturgy—such as prayers, songs, and sacraments. Scholars in this field analyze texts, artifacts, and traditions to understand the significance of worship and its role in shaping faith and community life. Ultimately, Liturgical Studies seeks to appreciate and enhance the spiritual experience of worship by connecting it to its broader historical and cultural contexts.
