Christian liturgical practices refer to the structured forms of worship and rituals observed in various Christian denominations. These practices often include the celebration of the Eucharist, also known as Holy Communion, where believers partake in bread and wine symbolizing the body and blood of Jesus Christ. Other elements may include prayers, hymns, readings from the Bible, and the recitation of creeds. Different denominations have unique liturgical calendars that mark significant events in the Christian faith, such as Advent, Christmas, Lent, and Easter. These calendars guide the themes and readings for worship services throughout the year, helping congregations to reflect on the life and teachings of Jesus and the history of the Christian Church.
