LITURGY (Low Lat. liturgia; Gr. XZros, public, and Epyov, work; )Aetrovpy6s, a public servant)

This article appears in Volume V16, Page 795 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: LEO-LOB
LITURGY (Low Lat. liturgia; Gr. XZros, public, and Epyov, work; )Aetrovpy6s, a public servant) , in the technical language of the Christian
Church
 , the order for the celebration and ad-ministration of the Eucharist. In Eastern Christendom the Greek word Xtirovpyia is used in this sense exclusively. But in
English
 -speaking countries the word "
liturgy
  " has come to be used in a more popular sense to denote any or all of the various services of the
Church
 , whether contained in
separate
  volumes or bound up together in the form of a Book of Common
Prayer
 . In this article the
liturgy
  is treated in the former and stricter sense. (For the ancient Athenian Xeirovpyiai, as forms of
taxation
 ,
see FINANCE.)
In order to understand terms and references it will be convenient to give the tabular form the
chief
  component parts of a liturgy, selecting the Liturgy of Rome as characteristic of Western, and that of
Constantinople
  as characteristic of Eastern, Christendom; at the same time appending an explanation of some of the technical words which must be employed in enumerating those parts.
