Literary notes about Liturgy (AI summary)
The term "liturgy" in literature is employed to denote a formal, ritualistic structure of worship that underscores the sacred character of religious ceremonies. It is used to describe ceremonial patterns that are both historical and symbolic, as seen in references to ancient prayer traditions and structured religious texts [1, 2]. Authors often use the word to evoke a sense of order and continuity, whether discussing the meticulously compiled rites of early church practice or the rhythmic, almost musical, flow of ceremonial recitations [3, 4]. In some contexts, the term is broadened to illustrate how ritualistic patterns extend into secular or metaphorical domains, lending an air of solemnity and regimented beauty to collective human experiences [5].
