Daily devotionals are publications which provide a specific spiritual reading for each calendar day. They tend to be associated with a daily time of prayer and meditation. Daily devotionals have a long tradition in religious communities, with the earliest known Christian example being the Gælic ''Feliré'' written in Ireland in the Ninth Century.〔Hudson, Robert (ed.) (2004) ''The Christian Writer's Manual of Style: Updated and Expanded Edition'' Zondervan, Grand Rapids, Mich., p.176, ISBN 0-310-48771-4〕 Daily devotionals, while common among Christians, can be found in many other traditions as well. Classic examples of devotionals include Leo Tolstoy's ''The Reading Circle''.〔Tolstoy, Lev N. (1908) ''Круг чтения: избранныя мысли многих писателей об истинѣ, жизни и поведении'' (''Krug Chteniia'', ''The Reading Circle'') A compendium of edifying readings for each day of the year, culled by Lev Tolstoy from the writings of various cultures; published in English as: Tolstoy, Lev (1997)''A calendar of wisdom: daily thoughts to nourish the soul'' (translated by Peter Sekirin) Scribner, New York, ISBN 0-684-83793-5; mentioned as a classic in Dobychin, Leonid; Borden, Richard C. and Belova, Natalia (2005) ''Encounters with Lise and Other Stories'' Northwestern University Press, Evanston, Illinois, p. 155, ISBN 0-8101-1972-2〕〔Chambers, Oswald (1927) ''My utmost for His Highest; selections for every day'' F.A.

Lutheran Hour Ministries makes daily devotions specifically for the liturgical seasons of Advent and Lent, in addition to other parts of the Church Year. Traditionally daily devotionals came in the format of a book, with one reading passage for each day. With the advent of online content, daily devotionals come in multiple formats including blogs, websites, and emails. There continues to be a multitude of devotional books and calendars, in additional to numerous online devotionals, that are tailored to a variety of recipient, denomination, or view. ==See also== * Anglican devotions * Electronic daily devotional 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「daily devotional」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
