Pre-Christian Prayers

[David2010]

I would like to learn some prayers from before the establishment of Christianity. After all, Christianity started out as just a particular sect of Judaism. Surely people spoke to God before Christianity came into being. Yet all the prayer books I come across are full of prayers including Jesus, Mary, the saints, etc. I am very curious to learn some of the prayers people used to talk to God before the appearance of Christ.

Any suggestions?

The Psalms are examples of “pre-Christian” prayers.

This is probably not what you sought, anyway: novaroma.org/religio_romana/plautus_prayers_to_various_deities.html

I like the libation to Venus, “Venus, de paulo paululum hoc tibi dabo… libenter.”

You need a Siddur!

In other words, a prayerbook.

If you google Siddur, I guess you’ll find examples.
