Too much work if you ask me. But it is "a recitation of prayers and devotions for a special purpose during nine consecutive days".

Oh... That an astronomy term. A nova is an exploding male star... a novena is an exploding female star.
LOL
( I really shouldn't do this here but I couldn't resist. With all the uneducated we seem to be "blessed with" they might just take my mis-information for real.... LOL.)

In the Catholic religion, it is a devotion consisting of prayer said (most typically) on nine successive days, asking to obtain special graces. These may consist of small prayer books, recitation of the Rosary, or small prayers through the day.
