Vespers for the Vigil of the 23rd Sunday after Pentecost
In the Byzantine tradition, "Vespers" refers to the principal evening prayer service, considered the beginning of the liturgical day, where Christians gather to commemorate Christ as the "Light of the World" through psalms, hymns, and readings, typically celebrated around sunset with the lighting of lamps in the church, and highlighted by the "O Joyful Light" hymn as a key element; it can be categorized as "Great Vespers" for major feast days, "Daily Vespers" for regular days, and "Small Vespers" in specific situations.
