Benediction
Last update: Saturday 22nd of November 2008
A benediction is a short invocation for divine help, blessing and guidance, usually at the end of church worship service.
Judaic ceremonies at the temple of Jerusalem had ritualised benedictions ("Berachot"). From the earliest church Christians have accorded them ceremonial significance, particularly to end a ritual. Protestants abandoned many of the benedictions of the Roman Catholic Church, including the apostolic benediction by the Pope and his delegates, and benediction of the dying.
A common form of benediction in both Catholic and liturgical Protestant churches is for the worship leader to raise his hands and recite the words of the Priestly Blessing.
Some churches have recently started to reincorporate the use of benedictions in the closing of their church services. Such benedictions may be found in Scripture, written by a church member, or a combination of the two.
