A devotional song is a Hymn which accompanies religious rituals. Each major religion has its own tradition with devotional hymns. In the West, the devotional has been a part of the Liturgy in Roman Catholicism , the Greek Orthodox Church , the Russian Orthodox Church , and others since their earliest days. A devotional is a part of the prayer service proper and are not, in these contexts, ornamentation. During the Protestant Reformation , church music in general was hotly debated. Some Puritan s objected to all ornament and sought to abolish choirs, hymns, and, inasmuch as liturgy itself was rejected, devotionals. In eastern and near-eastern religions, devotionals can function as Communion prayer and meditation. These are sung in particular Rhythm s which are sustained over a prolonged period of time to give practitioners a Mystical experience. See also Bhajan |
