Divine Liturgy
Divine Liturgy
(; ; ; ; ; ; ) is the
Eucharistic
service of the
Byzantine
tradition of
Christian liturgy
. As such, it is used in the
Eastern Orthodox
and
Eastern Catholic Churches
. Armenian Christians, both of the
Armenian Apostolic Church
and of the
Armenian Catholic Church
, use the same term. Some
Oriental Orthodox
employ the term "holy offering" (
Syriac
:
qurbana qadisha
) for their Eucharistic liturgies instead. The term is sometimes applied also to
Roman Rite
Eucharistic liturgies, though the term
Mass
is more commonly used there.
