What is evangeliary?

An Evangeliary is a religious book that contains the four Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. It is typically used in Christian liturgical services, specifically in the celebration of the Eucharist or Mass. The text is usually decorated with ornate illustrations and illuminated letters, often featuring scenes from scripture or religious iconography. The Evangeliary is an important part of Christian history, and many original copies from the Middle Ages can be found in museums and religious institutions around the world.
