sunset prayers

Dusk worship service

Sunset prayers are religious devotions performed at or around dusk, observed across many faiths.

In Islam, the Maghrib prayer is offered just after sunset.

In Judaism, Mincha (afternoon prayer) is traditionally completed before sunset, with Ma'ariv (evening prayer) following.

Christian traditions include Vespers and Evensong.

The timing connects worship to the natural rhythm of day's end.
