Nones (), also known as None (, "Ninth"), the Ninth Hour, or the Midafternoon Prayer, is a fixed time of prayer of the Divine Office of almost all the traditional Christian liturgies. It consists mainly of psalms and is said around 3 pm, about the ninth hour after dawn.
Examples of use of Nones
1. According to Mr Clarke the word, perhaps more correctly nones–event, is an event that takes place during a period of the month known as the nones by the Ancient Romans, rather like the Ides of March.
2. One thing the experts agree on: "Nones" tend to vote liberal but tend not to identify with a political party.
3. Academics who study religious demographics disagree about the "nones," and the Baylor study won‘t end that debate.
4. The Roman calendar used ides – along with kalends (the first of the month) and nones (the seventh day in March, May, July, and October; the fifth in the other months) – to base the rest of the days on. (We get the word "calendar" from kalends.) But the Roman calendar suffered from an unwieldy complexity, not unlike the Roman numeric system. (Imagine writing your phone number in Roman numerals!) And were it not for Julius Caesar, the word "ides" probably would not have survived in the English language.
