The event in which Christ taught the prayer to his [[disciple]]s is related in [[Gospel of Matthew|Matt]] 6:5-14 and [[Gospel of Luke|Luke]] 11:1-4. Before this, no one dared to pray to God as their very own Father.
In the early Church, only after [[baptism]] and [[chrismation]], was the Lord's Prayer taught to people. Only then, the faithful who have become children of God in Christ and the [[Holy Spirit]] dare to pray to God as to their very own [[Father]]. The prayer is used in many of the liturgical services, including the [[Divine Liturgy]], in which it is introduced by the [[Priest]], ''with boldness and without condemnation to dare to call upon the Heavenly God as [[God the Father |Father]] and to say:''
