Divine Liturgy of Our Father among the Saints John ChrysostomUsually, the Divine Liturgy of Our Father among the Saints John Chrysostom is celebrated. Difference between the Divine Liturgy of Our Father among the Saints Basil the Great and the Divine Liturgy of Our Father among the Saints John ChrysostomHis Excellency, Bishop John Elya AnswersWhat are the differences between the Eastern Liturgies? (St. John and St. Basil) Another AnswerThe Divine Liturgy of Our Father among the Saints Basil the Great is mostly the same as the Divine Liturgy of St John Chrysostom, except for the prayers called the Anaphora. These are the prayers from the time of the Great Entrance to the reception of Holy Communion. In the Divine Liturgy of St Basil, the prayers of the Anaphora are especially beautiful and rich in theology, praising God and remembering all the wonderful gifts God has given us and the salvation-granting actions God has performed. Some of these prayers are recited aloud so that you can hear them. The Divine Liturgy of St Basil is different from the Divine Liturgy of St John Chrysostom also in some of the songs that are sung. During Great Lent, the Kontakion of the Annunciation (Al Bisharah) ("Nah nou abeed aki" or "Triumphant Leader") is sung instead of the usual Kontakion "O never-failing Protectress of Christians." This comes at the end of the Troparia of the day, after the Little Entrance with the Gospel Book and before the Trisagion. And instead of the usual Hirmos ("It is truly right to call you blessed, O Theotokos") after the sanctification of the Holy Gifts, when we pray "Especially for our all-holy, spotless, most highly blessed and glorious Lady, the Mother of God and ever-virgin Mary," we sing "In you, O full of grace, all creation rejoices" ("In al-baraya").
