transcends both time and the world 1 all believers are seen as united in worship in the kingdom of god along with the departed saints and the angels of heaven everything in the liturgy is seen as symbolic but not merely so for it makes present the unseen reality according to eastern tradition and belief the liturgy s roots go back to the adaptation of jewish liturgy by early christians the first part termed the liturgy of the catechumens includes the reading of scriptures like those in a synagogue and in some places also a sermon homily the second half the liturgy of the faithful is based on the last supper and the first eucharistic celebrations by early christians eastern christians and many other branches of christianity believe that the eucharist is the central part of the service in which they participate as they believe the bread and wine truly become the real body and blood of christ and that by partaking of it they jointly become the body of christ that is the church 2 3 each liturgy has its differences from others but most are very similar to each other with adaptations based on tradition purpose culture and theology 4 5 byzantine rite edit part of a

liturgy of st john chrysostom 5th century used on most days of the year and as a vesperal liturgy on the annunciation the divine liturgy of st basil the great 4th century used on the five sundays of great lent and on saint basil s feast day january 1 on the eves of the nativity and theophany and on holy thursday and holy saturday it is celebrated as a vesperal liturgy in some traditions saint basil s liturgy is also celebrated on the exaltation of the life giving cross on september 14 citation needed in all this liturgy is used 10 times during the liturgical year the divine liturgy of the presanctified gifts 6th century is used during great lent on wednesdays fridays and a handful of other occasions and also on the first three days of holy week nowadays it is always celebrated as a vesperal liturgy the liturgy of the faithful has no anaphora eucharistic prayer the holy gifts having been consecrated and reserved presanctified at a previous divine liturgy it is traditionally attributed to st gregory the dialogist although some scholars believe it originated with patriarch severus of antioch as well as these there are two others that are used locally and rarely the liturgy of st james and the liturgy of saint mark the hierarchical liturgy edit as numbers in a diocese increased dramatically the bishop who presides over the eucharistic assembly appointed presbyters to act as celebrants in the local communities the parishes still the church is understood in eastern orthodoxy in terms not of the presbyter but the diocesan bishop when the latter celebrates the liturgy personally the service is more complex and festive to demonstrate unity with the greater orthodox community the hierarch commemorates the hierarch he is subordinate to or if he is head of an autocephalous church he commemorates all his peers whose names he reads from a diptych 6 typical structure edit note psalms are numbered according to the greek septuagint for the hebrew masoretic numbering that is more familiar in the west usually add 1 see the main psalms article for an exact correspondence table the format of divine liturgy is fixed although the specific readings and hymns vary with season and feast the divine liturgy consists of three interrelated parts when not in conjunction with vespers the liturgies of john chrysostom and basil the great are structured thus the liturgy of preparation which includes the entry and vesting prayers of the priests and deacons and the prothesis the liturgy of the catechumens so called because traditionally this is the only part they may attend the liturgy of the faithful so called because in ancient times only baptized members in good standing were allowed to participate in modern times this restriction applies only to reception of the sacrament of holy communion a typical celebration of the byzantine liturgy consists of liturgy of preparation edit main article liturgy of preparation this part of the liturgy is private performed only by the priest and deacon it symbolizes the hidden years of christ s earthly life entrance and vesting prayers the sacred servers priests and deacons enter the church venerate

in which both catechumens and baptized faithful would be in the nave opening blessing the deacon exclaims bless master the priest raising the gospel book and making the sign of the cross with it over the altar proclaims blessed is the kingdom of the father and of the son and of the holy spirit now and ever and unto ages of ages to which the response is amen when the liturgy is at the usual time
