dawn prayers
Sunrise spiritual practice
Dawn prayers are religious devotions performed at or around sunrise.
In Islam, this is fajr, the first of five daily prayers.
Many Christian traditions observe lauds or morning prayer at dawn.
The timing connects spiritual practice to the natural cycle of light returning: He rose for dawn prayers before the rest of the household stirred.
