evening mass
evening mass n. a mass celebrated in the evening; (also, without reference to the Eucharist) a religious service taking place in the evening.The exact meaning in quot. 1597 is disputed. Some commentators have suggested that Shakespeare is displaying ignorance of Roman Catholic practice, as at that time mass was usually only celebrated in the morning; others have suggested that he was using the word ‘mass’ in a more general sense to refer to any religious service. [In quot. 1903 after post-classical Latin missa vespertinalis (7th cent.), where the noun has the wider sense mentioned in the etymological note at mass n.1]
