St Germanus of Paris, 496-576

La divine liturgie selon Saint Germain de Paris, or the Divine Liturgy according to St Germanus of Paris, is the principal liturgy of the Orthodox Church of France.

Present use

In addition to the parishes of the Orthodox Church of France, St Germanus is also used by a number of parishes that were formerly with the French Church but which are now part of the Church of Romania and the Church of Alexandria (Coptic), and some which are in dialogue with the Church of Serbia.
