Liturgy (Gk.,
leitourgia, from
laos, ‘people’, +
ergon, ‘work’). Worship according to prescribed forms, as opposed to private devotions; hence ‘the liturgy’, the form of such worship.
In Christian use the word may refer to all the services of the Church (but not usually to those of Protestant churches). Most specifically, however, and especially in E. Churches, it is a title of the
eucharist or of a particular text of this service (e.g. the Liturgy of St John
Chrysostom, of St Basil, of St James, etc.).
