sunrise prayers

Morning spiritual practice

Sunrise prayers are devotional practices performed at or around dawn, observed across many religious traditions.

Muslims perform fajr, the first of five daily prayers.

Jews may recite morning blessings at first light.

Christians in liturgical traditions observe lauds or morning prayer.

The timing connects worship to the natural cycle of light returning: She rose early for sunrise prayers.
