What liturgies do we celebrate?

On Sundays throughout the year, we celebrate the Divine Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom, the most common Eucharistic liturgy in the Byzantine Rite. Its core, the anaphora, dates back to the early centuries of the Church’s life.

On the Sundays of Lent and a few other major Feasts, we celebrate the Divine Liturgy of St. Basil the Great. Its anaphora, also very ancient, recounts in greater detail the history of salvation and the petitions of the church.

On the Fridays of Lent, we celebrate a penitential liturgy, that of the Presanctified Gifts, in which we pray the church’s vesperal prayer, sing typical Byzantine lenten hymnography, and solemnly receive the Holy Eucharist that had already been consecrated (usually the previous Sunday).
