====Divine Liturgy and Divine Service====
The term [[Divine Liturgy]] ({{langx|grc|Θεία Λειτουργία}}) is used in [[Byzantine Rite]] traditions, whether in the [[Eastern Orthodox Church]] or among the [[Eastern Catholic Churches]]. These also speak of "the Divine Mysteries", especially in reference to the consecrated elements, which they also call "the Holy Gifts".{{efn|Within [[Oriental Orthodoxy]], the "Oblation" is the term used in the [[Syriac Orthodox Church|Syriac]], [[Coptic Orthodox Church|Coptic]] and [[Armenian Apostolic Church|Armenian]] churches, while "Consecration" is used in the [[Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church]]. "Oblation" and "Consecration" are of course used also by the Eastern Catholic Churches that are of the same liturgical tradition as these churches. Likewise, in the [[Goidelic languages|Gaelic]] language of Ireland and Scotland the word {{lang|ga|Aifreann}}, usually translated into English as "Mass", is derived from [[Late Latin]] {{lang|la|Offerendum}}, meaning "oblation", "offering".}}

The term [[Divine Service (Lutheran)|Divine Service]] ({{langx|de|Gottesdienst}}) has often been used to refer to Christian worship more generally and is still used in [[Lutheranism|Lutheran churches]], in addition to the terms "Eucharist", "Mass" and "Holy Communion".<ref name="Spicer2016">{{cite book|last=Spicer|first=Andrew|title=Lutheran Churches in Early Modern Europe|year= 2016|publisher=Routledge|language=en |isbn=978-1351921169|page=185}}</ref> Historically this refers (like the term "worship" itself) to service of God, although more recently it has been associated with the idea that God is serving the congregants in the liturgy.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://fblcchicago.org/worship/the-lutheran-way-of-worship|title=The Lutheran Way of Worship|last=Kellerman|first=James|publisher=First Bethlehem Lutheran Church|language=en|access-date=12 June 2017|archive-date=19 June 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170619130622/http://fblcchicago.org/worship/the-lutheran-way-of-worship|url-status=dead}}</ref>
