Liturgical goods in the New Testament
The New Testament contains numerous passages that reproduce formulas for worship . These are mainly hymns that were already in use before the text was written and that have been saved from being forgotten by being written down. They form an important source of information for today's knowledge of early Christian theology and liturgy.

Liturgical property in later texts
In particular in the literature of the Church Fathers there are numerous passages that contain liturgical material. Is known z. B. the call: Conversi ad Dominum ("to the Lord [let us pray]") from the North African liturgy not from liturgical sources, but through the works of Augustine . The two Eucharist prayers from the Didache and the Eucharist prayer at the end of the first epistle of Clement are also to be regarded as liturgical goods.
Folk-linguistic liturgical material has also been passed on through early medieval texts, especially the Old High German language monuments, while the liturgical manuscripts have been lost.
