'''Vespers''' (''εσπερινός'') is first service of the [[Ceasurile zilei]] of divine services celebrated in the [[Biserica Ortodoxă]]. Because the liturgical day begins at sunset, Vespers is traditionally served in the early evening. For many parishes, Vespers is the principal evening service.

==General structure of Great Vespers==

*Great Vespers opens with the [[preot]]'s exclamation ''Blessed is our God ...'' and the [[Trisaghion]]. (Note: the Trisagion Prayers are omitted if Great Vespers immediately follows the service of the [[Ninth Hour]].)
