sunset prayer
Dusk worship service
Sunset prayer refers to religious prayers performed at or around sunset, observed across multiple faiths.
In Islam, the Maghrib prayer is offered just after sunset.
In Judaism, Mincha (afternoon prayer) is recited before sunset, while Maariv (evening prayer) follows.
Christian traditions include vespers and evensong.
The timing connects prayer to natural rhythms and the transition between day and night.
