Period of nighttime prayer (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

vigil

'period of nighttime prayer' is the definition.

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for vigil that I've seen before include "Through the night, one kept" , "The rite of staying awake for devotional purposes" , "A period of staying awake as for prayer" , "Peaceful demonstration" , "Rite of staying awake for prayer on the eve of a religious festival" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
