In the Latin liturgical rites the only fully aliturgical day is Good Friday. Because of this, a specific mass known as the Mass of the Presanctified is used.[2]
In the Byzantine rite used by the Eastern Orthodox Church and Byzantine Catholic Churches there multiple aliturgical days beyond Good Friday. During Great Lent, it is forbidden to consecrate a new Eucharist, so the Liturgy of the Presanctified Gifts is used, where a previously consecrated host is used.
