Liturgy of St James of Jerusalem
The Liturgy of St. James is an ancient Christian eucharistic service, attributed to James the Just, the first bishop of Jerusalem. It is a form of worship based on the Antiochene Liturgy and is still used today, primarily by West Syriac Rite churches like the Syriac Orthodox Church and the Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church. The service includes scripture readings, prayers, a sermon, the kiss of peace, the offering of gifts, and the Eucharist. Other Liturgical writers form their liturgies on the basis of the structure of this first and original liturgy (divine service by the clergy and laity). Written near Jerusalem, and shared south with Alexandria/Africa, north with Persia, and west with Rome/Europe
