Italian to English translations [PRO]
Religion | | Italian term or phrase: Fioretto | | Can anyone help me with the English equivalent of "Fioretto" in a programme of religious music offered by a church: "Vespri d’organo alle ore 15.30, S. Messa alle ore 16, Fioretto alle ore 16.30.". Thanks :-), Sarah. |

| | Devotional prayers /Novena | Explanation:
While all of the previous meanings are correct within their own contexts and domains, when Catholic devotions occur before or after Mass, the "Fioretto" means the devotional prayers, the novena, the rosary, etc., before or after the main event. Do not use "novena" unless you know that it is going on for or will last nine days. |
