The Lord's Prayer and the Early Church Liturgy
The Lord's Prayer was also a central part of early Christian liturgy. During the earlier phase of Christianity, there was no formalized liturgy or set of prayers, but the Lord's Prayer was one of the first prayers to be used regularly in Christian worship. The prayer was often recited at the beginning of Christian worship services, and it was used to introduce the theme of the service and to provide a focal point for the congregation's worship.
