Wladyslaw Reymont

When I was six and already able to read and write Polish, my uncle the curate taught me Latin. Since he had no suitable textbook, he simply used the breviary.

Breviary is specifically used in the context of Catholic worship, not other religions.

Catholic Services

Priests and other clergy often use the breviary daily for prayer, signifying its importance in their lives.

Daily Use

The contents of a breviary vary according to the liturgical season like Advent or Lent.
