Everything about Eulogy totally explained
A
eulogy is a
speech or writing in praise of a person or thing. The word is derived from two Greek words - ευ (pronounced "you") meaning good or well and λογος (pronounced "logos") meaning word, phrase, speech, etc.
The term "eulogy" may refer to a
funeral oration given in tribute to a person or people who have recently
died. Eulogies may be given as part of funeral services, however some denominations either discourage or don't permit eulogies at services to maintain respect for traditions.
Eulogies can also praise a living person or people who are still alive, which normally takes place on special occasions like
birthdays etc.
Eulogies shouldn't be confused with
elegies, which are
poems written in tribute to the dead; nor with
obituaries, which are published
biographies recounting the lives of those who have recently died; nor with
obsequies, which refer generally to the
rituals surrounding funerals.
Catholic priests are prohibited by the rubrics of the Mass from presenting a eulogy for the deceased in place of a
homily during a funeral
Mass.
