| | Vespers - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Vespers is the evening prayer service in the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox liturgies of the canonical hours. | | | In Unitarian Universalism, vespers often include congregational singing, readings, and a period of silent meditation, contemplation, or prayer. | | | The word comes from Latin vesper, meaning "evening." The term is also used in some Protestant denominations to describe evening services. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Vespers |
| | The Vesper psalms, as well as the hymns and antiphons, are well calculated to edify the faithful. | | | On all feasts, of whatever rite, the second part of Vespers, that is, the capitulum, hymn, antiphon of the "Magnificat", is taken from the Sanctorale. | | | On feasts which are doubles of the second class and a fortiori of the first class, as well as on feasts of the Blessed Virgin, the Holy Angels, and Apostles, the psalms are proper to the feast as heretofore. |

| | Jazz Vespers |
| | Vespers, originally begun at the rising of the evening star, are the Church's Evening Prayer, one of the two main hours of the daily Office. | | | A vestige of this remains in the monastic vespers; the Preces, which were the Frankish form of these prayers. | | | Vespers was also called the evening sacrifice, a counterpart of the sacrifice of incense offered every evening in the Temple at Jerusalem. |

| | Melkite Greek Catholic Church Information Center Great Vespers |
| | Vespers is a holy and prayerful way to start the day in the presence of the Lord, and Great Vespers is a beautiful and inspiring experience, truly completing the celebration of a feast or of the Lord's Day. | | | During the chanting of the Lamplighting Psalms (140, 141, 129, and 116) the priest or the deacon incenses the altar, the holy place, the iconostasis, and the whole church. | | | Great Vespers is the first prayer of the day. |

| | Sicilian Vespers - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The event is so named because the insurrection began at the start of the evening prayer service of vespers on Easter Monday (March 30, 1282) at the Church of the Holy Spirit just outside Palermo and eventually led to the massacre of thousands of Sicily's French inhabitants over the course of the next six weeks. | | | At that moment the chuch bell at the Holy Spirit and all the church bells in Palermo began to ring for Vespers. | | | Regarding the former, Michael VIII in his autobiography wrote: "Should I dare to claim,that I was God's instrument to bring freedom to the Sicilians, then I should only be stating the truth." |

| | Vespers |
| | Vespers, or Evensong, is the Church's evening prayer. | | | This gives Vespers a special connection with the holy Eucharist, and as a matter of fact, a great number of the Vesper psalms are Eucharistic songs or at least can easily be referred to the Eucharist. | | | At the very same time that Vespers is prayed, Christ was seated with his apostles in the upper room. |

| | Christmas Vespers |
| | This ceremony was broken into three parts like earlier ceremonies; however, rather than the Prophecy, the Birth, and the Adoration, this year the parts were the meaning of Christmas, sentimental notions of Christmas, and the religious aspect of Christmas. | | | The play was still based in Christianity and centered on the birth, death, and resurrection of Christ. | | | The ceremony consisted of a mixture of Yuletide carols and Bible readings, which were performed by the Special Chorus and Choir. |

| | From the beginning there were indications that the Vesper service was meeting the need of this unique little "congregation" for worship, prayer, fellowship, and spiritual care. | | | The service began just before the 5:30 meal, so it was called "Vespers" — to correspond to the ancient Christian practice of early evening prayer within the cycle of the Divine Hours. | | | The Vespers program has welcomed all who would come. |

| | Vespers of Passion Sunday & Passion Sunday |
| | At the Vespers Mass on Holy Saturday, Lent ends and Easter begins: the statues are unveiled at that time in one of the most glorious liturgical moments of the entire Church year, a moment that affirms His divinity and proclaims that "He is risen!" | | | Today, statues and sacred Images (except for the Stations of the Cross) are veiled with purple cloth beginning at the Vespers of Passion Sunday, and they remain covered until the Gloria of Holy Saturday, at which point Lent ends and Eastertide begins. | | | The veiling also symbolizes the fact that Christ's Divinity was hidden at the time of His Passion and death, the very essence of Passiontide. |

| | When Are We to Fast: Midnight-to-Midnight, or Vespers-to-Vespers? |
| | A liturgical "reminder" of this is the fact that, during the Great Fast, the Liturgy of the Presanctified Gifts is served; it is a Vespers service and during it the Holy Mysteries are imparted to the Faithful, who are therefore completely abstaining from food. | | | I am a simple soul and was simply keeping the day from the time I got up till I went to bed, then someone said that in the Orthodox Church the day begins at Vespers and so we should keep the fasts from evening (say 6 p.m) to evening. | | | This sounds odd and rather humorous, but it is an exact translation of the Greek and Slavonic words for the service and does indicate to us that the meal of that day properly comes after Vespers and before Compline. |
