Slavonic liturgical texts

Slavonic liturgical texts are religious writings used in Eastern Orthodox and Eastern Catholic Christian services in Slavic-speaking communities. They include prayers, hymns, scripture readings, and chants, often composed in Church Slavonic, a historical liturgical language. These texts are integral to worship, guiding rituals, devotional practices, and theological reflections. Their poetic and musical nature helps facilitate communal participation and spiritual reflection during church services. Overall, Slavonic liturgical texts serve as both spiritual tools and cultural expressions that preserve religious traditions and language within Slavic Christianity.
