Liturgy of Saint Basil

The Liturgy of Saint Basil or the Divine Liturgy of Saint Basil is more formally known as, the Divine Liturgy of Saint Basil the Great (Coptic: Ϯⲁ̀ⲛⲁⲫⲟⲣⲁ ⲛ̀ⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲁ̀ⲅⲓⲟⲥ ⲃⲁⲥⲓⲗⲓⲟⲥ, Ti-anaphora ente pi-agios Basilios. Koine Greek: Ἡ Θεία Λειτουργία τοῦ Ἁγίου Βασιλείου τοῦ Μεγάλου, Ē Theía Leitourgía tou Agíou Vasileíou tou Megálou), is a term for several Eastern Christian celebrations of the Divine Liturgy (Eucharist), or at least several anaphoras, which are named after Basil of Caesarea. Two of these liturgies are in common use today: the one used in the Byzantine Rite usually celebrated ten times a year, and the one ordinarily used by the Coptic Church.
