offering service to god together the majority of christian denominations hold their principal church service on sunday the first day of the week which is known as the lord s day a in some christian denominations liturgies are held daily with these including those in which the canonical hours are prayed as well as the offering of the eucharistic liturgies such as mass among other forms of worship 3 in addition to this many christians attend services of worship on holy days such as christmas ash wednesday good friday ascension thursday among others depending on the christian denomination 4 liturgies are generally presided over by clergy wherever possible in some christian traditions but lay leaders of worship preside over services in many cases history edit the holding of church services pertains to the observance of the lord s day in christianity 2 the bible has a precedent for a pattern of morning and evening worship that has given rise to sunday morning and sunday evening services of worship held in the churches of many christian denominations today a structure to help families sanctify the lord s day 2 in numbers 28 1 10 and exodus 29 38 39 god commanded the daily offerings in the tabernacle to be made once in the morning and then again at twilight 2 in psalm 92 which is a prayer concerning the observance of the sabbath the prophet david writes it is good to give thanks to the lord to sing praises to your name o most high to declare your steadfast love in the morning and your faithfulness by night cf psalm 134 1 2 church father eusebius of caesarea thus declared for it is surely no small sign of god s power that throughout the whole world in the churches of god at the morning rising of the sun and at the evening hours hymns praises and truly divine delights are offered to god god s delights are indeed the hymns sent up everywhere on earth in his church at the times of morning and evening 2 types edit communion liturgies edit lutheran priest elevating the host during the mass at alsike church sweden communion liturgies are those in which the eucharist is celebrated in the roman catholic church the sacred liturgy in which the eucharist is celebrated is generally called the mass in latin the corresponding word is missa taken from the dismissal at the end of the liturgy ite missa est literally go it is the dismissal translated idiomatically in the current english roman missal as go forth the mass is ended citation needed the catholic church stresses the importance of liturgical formation through which participants are given a knowledge and understanding of the liturgical action in which they are involved 5 the eastern orthodox church byzantine rite uses the term divine liturgy to denote the eucharistic service 6 and some oriental orthodox churches also use that term along with the eastern lutheran churches and the eastern catholic churches the descendant churches of the church of the east and various other syriac churches call their liturgy the holy qurbana meaning holy offering mass is the common term used in the lutheran churches in europe but more often referred to as the divine service holy communion or the holy eucharist in north america lutherans retained and utilized much of the roman catholic mass since the early modifications by martin luther the general order of the mass and many of the various aspects remain similar between the two traditions latin titles for the sections psalms and days has been widely retained but more recent reforms have omitted this recently certain lutherans have adapted much of their revised mass to coincide with the reforms and language changes brought about by post vatican ii changes citation needed anglicans variably use holy communion the lord s supper the roman catholic lutheran term mass or holy eucharist depending upon their churchmanship other protestant traditions such as the reformed and methodist denominations vary in their liturgies or orders of worship as they are commonly called other traditions in the west often called mainline have benefited from the liturgical movement which flowered in the mid late 20th century over the course of the past several decades these protestant traditions have developed remarkably similar patterns of liturgy drawing from ancient sources as the paradigm for developing proper liturgical expressions of great importance to these traditions has been a recovery of a unified pattern of word and sacrament in lord s day liturgy citation needed many other protestant christian traditions such as the pentecostal charismatics assembly of god and non denominational churches while often following a fixed order of worship tend to have liturgical practices that vary from those of the broader christian tradition citation needed commonalities edit there are common elements found in most western liturgical churches including the catholic and lutheran traditions as well as certain reformed anglican and methodist denominations these include citation needed the procession with the cross followed by the other acolytes the deacons and the priest the invocation beginning with the sign of the cross

passing of the peace agnus dei benediction divine office edit the term divine office describes the practice of marking the hours of each day and sanctifying the day with prayer 7 in the western catholic church there are multiple forms of the office the liturgy of the hours is the official form of the office used throughout the latin church but many other forms exist including the little
