what does vesper mean
A vesper is an evening song. It also refers to evening prayers, and then itâs usually plural as vespers. Whether itâs a church service or a jazz band at sunset, if itâs in the evening, itâs a vesper. Vesper hasnât changed much over the years, in Latin it means âevening star,â and in Old English itâs Ã¦fen-sang, which sounds a little like âevening song.â In the Christian tradition, vespers are prayer services occurring later in the day.
