The praying of Lutheran Vespers is significant not only for the date (eve of the 481st Anniversary of the Presentation of the Augsburg Confession) but for the content.
Since 1978 in the US Lutheran Vespers has included what is essentially the great Litany (Ektenia) from the Divine Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom, including the petitions for all the faithful departed and the calling to mind of all the saints (although not normally enumerated by name).
