Daily devotional

Traditionally, daily devotionals came in the format of a book, with one reading passage for each day, and often a reflection and prayer.

Daily devotionals have a long tradition in Christian religious communities, with the earliest known example being the Gælic Feliré written in Ireland in the Ninth Century.

Churchgoers often get one-year devotional books from Christian bookstores and give these as gifts for life events, such as baptisms, confirmations, graduations, weddings, among other occasions.
