Even in modern times, the contrast of light and darkness, and the ceaseless progression of night and day, run very deep in us: light and life, darkness and death are profoundly linked. Christianity inherited from Judaism the pattern of prayer associated with the rhythm of the day, and has enriched it with its own insights. Vespers is traditionally sung when the day’s work is finished, when the shadows lengthen, the lamps are lit, and the evening star (`vesper’ in Latin) appears: an office of praise, and of thanksgiving for the day.

Quarr Abbey on the Isle of Wight is the home of a community of Benedictine Monks. It was founded by the monks of Solemes during their exile from France in the early years of this century. In 1937 it became an independent abbey, but still retains very close links with its mother-house.
