====Sacrament or Blessed Sacrament====
The "[[Blessed Sacrament]]", the "Sacrament of the Altar", and other variations, are common terms used by Catholics,<ref>{{Cite CCC|2.1|1330}}</ref> Lutherans<ref>{{cite web |title=Small Catechism (6): The Sacrament of the Altar |url=http://www.christlutheranchurch.org.uk/site/2007/06/23/small-catechism-6-the-sacrament-of-the-altar/ |publisher=Christ Lutheran Church |access-date=24 June 2020}}</ref> and some Anglicans ([[Anglo-Catholics]])<ref>{{cite web |last1=Prestige |first1=Leonard |title=Anglo-Catholics: What they believe |url=http://anglicanhistory.org/sspp/prestige1927.html |via=anglicanhistory.org |publisher=[[Society of SS.

In [[the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints]] the term "[[Sacrament (Mormonism)|The Sacrament]]" is used of the rite.<ref name="LDS_Sacrament"/>

====Mass====
{{main|Mass (liturgy)|Mass in the Catholic Church}}
The term "[[Mass (liturgy)|Mass]]" is used in the [[Catholic Church]], the [[Lutheranism|Lutheran]] churches (especially the [[Church of Sweden|Churches of Sweden]], [[Church of Norway|Norway]] and [[Evangelical Lutheran Church of Finland|Finland]]), and by some Anglicans. It derives from the Latin word {{lang|la|missa}}, a dismissal: {{lang|la|"[[Ite missa est]]",}} or "go, it is sent", the very last phrase of the service.<ref>''Oxford English Dictionary'', s.v. [http://www.oed.com/view/Entry/114665 "mass"].</ref> That Latin word has come to imply "mission" as well because the congregation is sent out to serve Christ.<ref>{{cite web |title=Concluding Rites |url=http://www.usccb.org/prayer-and-worship/the-mass/order-of-mass/concluding-rites/index.cfm |website=www.usccb.org |access-date=14 September 2018 }}</ref>

At least in the Catholic Church, the Mass is a long rite in two parts: the [[Liturgy of the Word]] and the [[Liturgy of the Eucharist]]. The former consists of readings from the Bible and a [[homily]], or sermon, given by a priest or deacon. The latter, which follows seamlessly, includes the "[[Offertory|Offering]]" of the bread and wine at the altar, their consecration by the priest through prayer, and their reception by the congregation in Holy Communion.<ref>{{cite web |title=liturgy of the Eucharist {{!}} Definition & Rite |url=https://www.britannica.com/topic/liturgy-of-the-Eucharist |website=Encyclopedia Britannica |access-date=21 April 2021 |language=en}}</ref> Among the many other terms used in the Catholic Church are "Holy Mass", "the Memorial of the Passion, Death and Resurrection of the Lord", the "Holy Sacrifice of the Mass", and the "Holy Mysteries".<ref>{{cite book | author=Catholic Church | year=2006 |title=Compendium of the Catechism of the Catholic Church | page=275 | publisher=Libreria Editrice Vaticana }}, and {{cite book | author=Catholic Church | year=1997 | title=Catechism of the Catholic Church | pages=1328–32 | publisher=United States Conference of Catholic Bishops | isbn=978-1574551105 | url=https://archive.org/details/catechismofcatho2000cath | url-access=registration }}</ref>

====Divine Liturgy and Divine Service====
The term [[Divine Liturgy]] ({{lang-grc-gre|Θεία Λειτουργία}}) is used in [[Byzantine Rite]] traditions, whether in the [[Eastern Orthodox Church]] or among the [[Eastern Catholic Churches]]. These also speak of "the Divine Mysteries", especially in reference to the consecrated elements, which they also call "the Holy Gifts".{{efn|Within [[Oriental Orthodoxy]], the "Oblation" is the term used in the [[Syriac Orthodox Church|Syriac]], [[Coptic Orthodox Church|Coptic]] and [[Armenian Apostolic Church|Armenian]] churches, while "Consecration" is used in the [[Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church]]. "Oblation" and "Consecration" are of course used also by the Eastern Catholic Churches that are of the same liturgical tradition as these churches. Likewise, in the [[Goidelic languages|Gaelic]] language of Ireland and Scotland the word {{lang|ga|Aifreann}}, usually translated into English as "Mass", is derived from [[Late Latin]] {{lang|la|Offerendum}}, meaning "oblation", "offering".}}

The term [[Divine Service (Lutheran)|Divine Service]] ({{lang-de|Gottesdienst}}) has often been used to refer to Christian worship more generally and is still used in [[Lutheranism|Lutheran churches]], in addition to the terms "Eucharist", "Mass" and "Holy Communion".<ref name="Spicer2016">{{cite book|last=Spicer|first=Andrew|title=Lutheran Churches in Early Modern Europe|year= 2016|publisher=Routledge|language=en |isbn=978-1351921169|page=185}}</ref> Historically this refers (like the term "worship" itself) to service of God, although more recently it has been associated with the idea that God is serving the congregants in the liturgy.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://fblcchicago.org/worship/the-lutheran-way-of-worship|title=The Lutheran Way of Worship|last=Kellerman|first=James|publisher=First Bethlehem Lutheran Church|language=en|access-date=12 June 2017|archive-date=19 June 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170619130622/http://fblcchicago.org/worship/the-lutheran-way-of-worship|url-status=dead}}</ref>

====Other Eastern rites====
Some Eastern rites have yet more names for Eucharist. [[Holy Qurbana]] is common in [[Syriac Christianity]] and ''Badarak''<ref>{{Citation|last=Hovhanessian|first=Vahan|chapter=Badarak (Patarag)|date=2011|publisher=American Cancer Society|language=en|doi=10.1002/9780470670606.wbecc0112|isbn=978-0470670606|title=The Encyclopedia of Christian Civilization}}</ref> in the [[Armenian Rite]]; in the [[Alexandrian Rite]], the term ''Prosfora'' (from the Greek {{lang|grc|προσφορά}}) is common in [[Christianity in Egypt|Coptic Christianity]] and ''Keddase'' in [[Ethiopian Christianity|Ethiopian]] and [[Christianity in Eritrea|Eritrean Christianity]].<ref name="Bradshaw2012">{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ms20-mUmdYwC&q=Coptic+eucharist&pg=PA142|title=The Eucharistic Liturgies: Their Evolution and Interpretation|last1=Bradshaw|first1=Paul F.|last2=Johnson|first2=Maxwell E.|date=2012|publisher=Liturgical Press|isbn=978-0814662663|language=en}}</ref>
