The word Novena is rooted in the Latin word for nine. A novena is a series of prayers that are said for nine straight days. Novenas are most often prayed by members of the Roman Catholic Church, as well as Lutheran, Orthodox and Anglican, who hold close or similar beliefs regarding its pious practice.

The practice of novena grew by the Middle Ages to include pious prayers for nine days before a feast in honor of a saint identified on a liturgical calendar. By the 11th century, the novena practice had become a means in Christianity of praying to petition spiritual or personal favor through a saint, such as Virgin Mary. After the Reformation and Counter-reformation era, the Catholic Church formally approved novenas, in particular through the papal approvals of a large number of novenas by Pope Pius IX.

In the Roman Catholic Church, there are three recognized categories of novenas, though this distinction is not exclusive:

1. Mourning, or before a Burial;

2. In preparation for a Church feast; the revised Enchiridion Indulgentiarum assigns indulgence novenas to particular feasts: "A partial indulgence is granted to the faithful, who devoutly take part in the pious exercises of a public novena before the feast of Christmas or Pentecost or the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary."[12]

3. Intercessory (for a particular request)

By standard liturgical norms, novenas are performed in church, at home, or anywhere where solemn prayers are appropriate, though some indulgence novenas require church attendance. Sometimes, a special candle or incense is lit at the beginning of the novena which burns during the nine days of prayer. The first chapter of the General Principles of Sacrosanctum Concilium is often cited as a guideline regarding the implementations of public novenas.

Within the Roman Catholic tradition, novena prayers typically include a praise of the Virgin Mary, Jesus Christ or saint, acknowledgment of the Christian doctrines, and a personal petition. Other than the petition, the rest of much used prayers used in a public setting is studied by the clergy and then approved to be free from doctrinal and moral errors. The approval is given in the form of an Imprimatur, Nihil Obstat, and Imprimi potest. These ecclesiastical approval are usually granted by a bishop or any ranking prelate for publication and approval.

Novenas have been a widespread practice in Catholic history. Novena prayers are also practiced by Lutheran, Orthodox and Anglican Christians, who hold close or similar beliefs regarding its pious practice. In addition, novenas have also been used in an ecumenical Christian context, such as those promulgated by Premier Christian Radio, in order to pray for Church renewal.
