family prayers
Home religious observance
Family prayers are religious devotions conducted at home with household members gathered together.
The practice typically involves reading scripture, reciting prayers, or singing hymns as a group, often at a set time such as morning or evening: Father led the family prayers before breakfast.
The term evokes traditional or devout households where collective worship was a daily ritual.
