| | Ceremony and Faith Byzantine Art and the Divine Liturgy |
| | Acts of worship and ritual in the Divine Liturgy, such as prayers, veneration and censing, were addressed to icons, primarily of Christ. | | | According to a fourteenth-century manuscript, when the Patriarch of Constantinople made his majestic entrance from the narthex to the nave of this church, at the beginning of the Divine Liturgy, he venerated icons that were in front of the ambo. | | | Nevertheless there is an obvious significative relationship between the Passion cycle and the Divine Liturgy, since the Crucifixion and the Resurrection of Christ - the preconditions for the salvation of mankind - are the nucleus of the Divine Liturgy. |

| | The third part of the Divine Liturgy is called the Liturgy of the Faithful, since only the Faithful in ancient times were permitted to be present for the Sacrament of the Eucharist. | | | According to ancient rules of the Jerusalem Church of the Resurrection and the Church of St. Sophia in Constantinople, the Liturgy of the Catechumens was held in a separate place from the Liturgy of the Faithful. | | | Upon entering the church before the Divine Liturgy is to be served, the Priest (and Deacon) stand before the Holy Doors and say the Entrance Prayers. |

| | The Divine Liturgy |
| | At the Divine Liturgy only members of the Orthodox Church are commemorated, since the particles placed on the diskos represent the Holy Church, the body of Orthodox believers. | | | "Liturgy" itself comes from a Greek word meaning "common action or service" and signifies that the Mystery of Holy Communion is the reconciling sacrifice of God for the sins of the entire community of faithful, the living and the dead. | | | With these words the priest announces the goal of the divine service about to begin: the strengthening and expansion of the Kingdom of God brought to the world by Jesus Christ, to the Glory of the only one true God, worshipped in the Holy Trinity. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Divine Office |
| | This expression signifies etymologically a duty accomplished for God; in virtue of a Divine precept it means, in ecclesiastical language, certain prayers to be recited at fixed hours of the day or night by priests, religious, or clerics, and, in general, by all those obliged by their vocation to fulfil this duty. | | | The development of the Divine Office was probably in the following manner: The celebration of the Eucharist was preceded by the recital of the psalms and the reading of the Old and New Testaments. | | | This development of the Divine Office, as far as concerns the Roman liturgy, was completed at the close of the sixth century. |

| | Any musical instrument permitted in divine worship should be used in such a way that it meets the needs of the liturgical celebration, and is in the interests both of the beauty of worship and the edification of the faithful. | | | In general, the faithful, particularly the more educated, should be led by suitable teaching, to understand the psalms in a Christian sense and use them in their own prayers, so that they may gradually acquire a stronger taste for the use of the public prayer of the Church. | | | The sung celebration of the Divine Office is the form which best accords with the nature of this prayer. |
