Original: Set times for prayer during the day were established ( based substantially on Jewish models ) , and a festal cycle throughout the Church year governed the celebration of feasts and holy days pertaining to the events in the life of Jesus , the lives of the saints , and aspects of the Church 's perception of God .
Simplified: So even though there was always a certain amount of variety in the early Churchs liturgical worship , there was also a great deal of unity .
