Families of culturally and historically connected Christian rituals
"Liturgical rite" redirects here. For particular Christian rituals, see Rite (Christianity).

Rites (Latin: ritus), liturgical rites, and ritual families within Christian liturgy refer to the families of liturgies, rituals, prayers, and other practices historically connected to a place, denomination, or group. Rites often interact with one another, such as in liturgical Latinization, and contain subsets known as uses. There are two broad categories which ritual families fall into: Latin or Western rites associated with Western Christianity and Eastern rites associated with Eastern Christianity.[1] The most common rite is the Roman Rite, itself a Latin liturgical rite and further subdivided into uses.[2][3]
