novenas (religious ceremonies, ceremonies, ... Events (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: Christian private or public devotions, special prayers, or services that are observed on nine successive days, or on the same day for nine successive weeks. The purpose of novenas is to request special graces of God or to express mourning; a novena is not, strictly speaking, a ceremony or liturgical event. The practice derives from Jewish tradition, although Jewish prayer periods were of seven days rather than nine. The tradition of nine days derives from the ancient Romans, who had official religious ceremonies that were nine days in duration.

Additional Notes: |
|
| Dutch ..... Christelijke privé- of publieke devoties, speciale gebeden of diensten op negen achtereenvolgende dagen, of op dezelfde weekdag in negen achtereenvolgende weken. In novenen wordt God om speciale gunsten gevraagd of wordt rouw betuigd. Een novene is strikt genomen geen ceremonie of liturgische activiteit. De praktijk komt uit de joodse traditie, hoewel joodse gebedsperioden zeven dagen duurden in plaats van negen. De traditie van negen dagen is afkomstig van de oude Romeinen, die officiële religieuze ceremonies hadden die negen dagen duurden. |
