Liturgy

Liturgy refers to the established pattern of worship practiced within a religious tradition. It shapes how prayer, reading, music, ritual actions, and sacred time are ordered when a community gathers. Liturgical forms are usually repeated and preserved over time, allowing worship to be shared across generations rather than shaped by individual preference. Through its fixed structure, liturgy expresses theological beliefs about God, community, and sacred space, guiding how worship is performed and understood. It functions as both a practice and a framework that teaches participants how to participate in communal religious life.
