Rest easy after the peace-inducing services of Evensong and Benediction on Sunday evenings at 4:00 p.m.
A 470-year-old Anglican tradition, Evensong is so-named for the ‘song’ of voices heard at the ‘even’ point between the active day and restful night, allowing listeners time for restful contemplation. More commonly referred to as Evening Prayer, this is the traditional service when people come to worship in the early evening.
A service of Benediction immediately follows Evensong. At this service, the blessed host of the Eucharist is placed in the presence of the people in a monstrance. The service reminds us that Christ is present in the sacrament of the altar, and as such, present in our world. Prayer is offered, and we are reminded of the Grace conferred in the Eucharist (Holy Communion, or the Lord’s Supper).
