From the Greek word λειτουργια, which can be transliterated as "leitourgia," meaning "the work of the people," a liturgy comprises a prescribed religious ceremony, according to the traditions of a particular religion; it may be refer to, or include, an elaborate formal ritual (such as the Catholic Mass), a daily activity such as the MuslimSalats, or attendance to Quaker Meeting.
Methods of dress, preparation of food, application cosmetic or other hygenic practices are all considered liturgic activities of various religions.
The previous material under at this article, however, focused on Christian Liturgy, and has been moved there.
All liturgical norms that a conference of bishops will have established for its territory in accordance with the law are to be submitted to the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments for the recognitio [approval], without which they lack any binding force (28).
From the fact that the liturgical celebration obviously entails activity, it does not follow that everyone must necessarily have something concrete to do beyond the actions and gestures, as if a certain specific liturgical ministry must necessarily be given to the individuals to be carried out by them.
It is fitting that such a one should have received a liturgical formation in accordance with his or her age, condition, state of life, and religious culture.
