"Mattins" redirects here. For other Christian mattins, see Matins. For other uses, see matins (disambiguation).

The Daily Office in Anglican churches refers to the traditional canonical hours of daily services, including Morning Prayer (also called Matins, especially when chanted) and Evening Prayer (called Evensong, especially when celebrated chorally). These services usually follow the Book of Common Prayer. As in other Christian traditions, either clergy or laity can lead the daily office. Most Anglican clergy are required to pray Morning and Evening Prayer daily.
