The article is devoted to the analysis of a part of the Liturgy of the Faithful (Missa Fidelium) of the rite of the Liturgia Svecanæ (the Red Book) of 1576 by King John III. Using the example of the prayers of the Offertory and the Canon, we see a more conservative approach to the reform of liturgical texts, where the sacrificial language of the Eucharist is used. However, an analysis of the content of these prayers indicates their evangelical character, which corresponds to the views expressed in the confessional books of the Lutheran Church. Moreover, the study of the peculiarities of the celebration of the Eucharistic Liturgy, according to the Liturgia Svecanæ, allows to look at the Lutheran Mass through the prism of the patristic heritage.

The presented material is devoted to the analysis of the order of the Service of 1629 and its comparison with the modern Eucharistic worship of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Ingria. The uniqueness of the Service Book of 1629 is caused by its fundamental significance for liturgical ministry of the Church of Ingria. It has influenced the practice of liturgical worship for many years to come. The presented Service Book has never been translated into Russian before, and thus, for the first time, readers have the opportunity to know more about traditions associated with liturgical vestments, the order of the Eucharist and other issues of practical liturgics.
