Liturgy of Saint Basil

The Liturgy of Saint Basil is a traditional Christian worship service used mainly in the Eastern Orthodox and some Eastern Catholic Churches. It’s a Eucharistic celebration that features a unique sequence of prayers, hymns, and rituals, emphasizing reverence and reflection. Named after Saint Basil the Great, it is often longer and more elaborate than other liturgies, highlighting themes of divine mystery and sacredness. The liturgy aims to prepare believers spiritually to receive Christ's Holy Communion, fostering a deeper sense of worship, unity, and connection with the divine presence.
