Best Answer

Matins (also known as Orthros or Oútrenya in Eastern Churches) is the early morning or night prayer service in the Roman Catholic, Anglican, Lutheran and Eastern Orthodox liturgies of the canonical hours. The term is also used in some Protestant denominations to describe morning services. The name "Matins" originally referred to the morning office also known as Lauds. When the nocturnal service called Vigils or Nocturns, celebrated at night only in monasteries, became joined with Lauds, which came to be treated as the concluding portion of that service, the name of "Matins" was extended to the whole of the morning service and later still became attached to what had originally been that of Vigils.[1] From Wikipedia via answers.com Sung literally means to sing, so it is the singing of Morning Prayers.
