Minor doxology is a common term used in religious worship, specifically in Christianity. It is a prayer or hymn of praise that is recited or sung at various times during a church service. Some synonyms for minor doxology include "Gloria Patri", which is Latin for "Glory to the Father", and "Doxology of the Trinity", which refers to the three persons of the Christian God: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Another synonym for minor doxology is "Lesser Doxology". This term is used to differentiate it from the "Greater Doxology", which is a longer hymn that is typically reserved for special occasions.
