While the word novena comes from the Latin novem, meaning "nine," the term has also come to be used generically to refer to any lengthy series of prayers. Thus, the Saint Andrew Christmas Novena is recited for more than nine days, between the Feast of St. Andrew (November 30) and Christmas.
Pronunciation: nōˈvēnə
Examples:
"Every year, we pray the Divine Mercy Novena on the nine days between Good Friday and Divine Mercy Sunday."Do you need novenas to be delivered to your e-mail click HERE
