The Book of Common Prayer is an Anglican prayer book which was first published in 1549 during the reign of King Edward VI of England. It was the first book to contain the forms of service for daily and Sunday worship in English in a single volume; it includes the morning and evening prayers, the Litany, the Holy Communion, baptism, confirmation, marriage, the anointing of the sick, a funeral service, Sunday service readings, and Bible readings and canticles meant for daily prayers. It was banned by Queen Mary I of England from 1553 to 1558 and by the Parliamentarians during the English Civil War, not being reinstated until 1662.
