Evening prayer
Evening prayer, also known as Vespers, is a time set aside in many faith traditions to reflect, give thanks, and seek guidance as the day ends. It typically involves reading scripture, singing hymns or psalms, and offering personal or communal prayers. The purpose is to pause from daily activities, recognize divine presence, and prepare the mind and spirit for rest. Often performed in churches or at home, evening prayer helps foster gratitude, humility, and a sense of connection with the divine and community.
