Saint Basil

As we were baptized, so we profess our belief. As we profess our belief, so also we offer praise. As then baptism has been given us by the Savior, in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost, so, in accordance with our baptism, we make the confession of the creed, and our doxology in accordance with our creed.

The most important part of the process of mourning is regularly reciting kaddish in a synagogue. Kaddish is a doxology, which Jewish tradition has mandated children to recite daily in a synagogue during the year of mourning for a deceased parent and then on the anniversary of his or her death thereafter.

Doxology is deeply rooted in Christian traditions and typically used in religious contexts.

Christian Tradition

Doxologies are often used to conclude a worship service, marking the end with praise.

Worship Closure

Though often sung, a doxology can be spoken as a form of prayer or blessing as well.
