Slavonic liturgy

The Slavonic liturgy refers to the religious services and rituals used by Eastern Orthodox and Eastern Catholic churches that follow the Slavonic tradition, particularly in Slavic regions. Originating from the 9th-century missionary St. Cyril and Methodius, it is characterized by its use of Church Slavonic language, rich choral singing, and traditional chants. The liturgy focuses on worship, prayer, and the celebration of the Eucharist, emphasizing deep spiritual significance through symbolic rituals and music. It plays a central role in community worship and maintains cultural heritage within Slavic Christian societies.
