Liturgical Studies is an academic field that focuses on the study of religious rituals and ceremonies, particularly within the context of worship. It examines the historical, cultural, and theological aspects of liturgy, which includes practices such as prayer, sacraments, and worship services. Scholars in this field analyze how these rituals shape community identity and spiritual experience. The discipline often draws from various sources, including sacred texts, historical documents, and anthropological studies. By exploring the evolution of liturgical practices across different faith traditions, Liturgical Studies aims to understand their significance and impact on both individual believers and religious communities.
