DEF

Office célébré au moment où l'on allume les lampes, à la tombée du jour, en particulier le samedi soir, à l'imitation du rite familial de l'ouverture du sabbat chez les juifs [...] En Orient, dès le IVe s. cet office est marqué par le chant de l'hymne «Joyeuse Lumière». Peu à peu, le lucernaire s'est trouvé joint à vêpres, quand il n'a pas été absorbé par cet office.
