Prime is the first hour of the day, meaning the first hour of daylight, or 6:00 AM. Lauds was earlier, and Terce came after Prime. There were eight Canonical Hours, and they came three hours apart by the clock.

What was one of the names of the service that the clergy of the Catholic Church perform during the Middle Ages?

It was not called the Catholic Church in the medieval period - it was simply the Church or the Church of Rome.Mass was celebrated by priests every day; the Holy Offices included Prime (at around 6 in the morning), Tierce (at about 9) and Sext (at about 12 noon). The names reflect the classical Roman way of splitting up the day: the first hour (primus) was 6 am, the third hour (tertius) was 9 am and the sixth hour (sextus) was at noon.Each Holy office consisted of prayers, set phrases and responses and several of the Psalms from the Bible, which served as a ready-made hymn book - but always sung in Latin.


In Medieval Times did they have pancakes?

Yes. Pancakes have been dated back to the ancient Greeks, so they were certainly around in Medieval times. However, pancakes have changed considerably through the centuries, and the pancakes eaten by people in Medieval times were different from modern pancakes. Aside from the pancakes eaten in Ancient Greece, the pancake as we know it developed as a result of Shrove Tuesday, the last day before the beginning of Lent. Lent isa time of fasting, particularly in the Roman Catholic church, and more so during Medieval times when the Roman Catholic church very much influenced the lives of everyday people. Shrove Tuesday became the day when flour, eggs, and sugar - all important ingredients of pancakes - had to be used up. They were not permitted to be eaten during Lent because they were regarded as indulgent foods, catering to pleasure. Shrove Tuesday dates back to at least the 12th century, so pancakes were most certainly around during Medieval times.
