2 In the earliest tradition, this began with the lighting of the lamps as darkness fell and with a hymn of praise to Christ. The singing of psalms and the Magnificat bring the day that has just past into focus: God has cast down the mighty from their thrones and has lifted up the lowly; God has remembered the promise of mercy, the promise he made to our ancestors..
