Mass is the main Eucharistic liturgical service in many forms of Western Christianity. Most Churches celebrate Mass on Sunday, the Lord's day, and some also on weekdays. There may be one or more Mass times on any given day of the week. The key mass_times=* is similar to the key opening_hours=* except that there are specific times for the service to begin as opposed to a time range. It is also similar to the key service_times=*, but is more specific and more recognized by some denominations such as the world's estimated 1.2 billion Catholics.[Questioned]
Tagging Syntax
The syntax for the value largely follows opening_hours=*, except points in time are acceptable in addition to the time ranges used for opening hours. Please see there for additional examples.
Example
For example if a Catholic Church (amenity=place_of_worship) celebrates Mass at 7 AM on weekdays and, and on Sunday at 9 AM and 10 AM, it would be represented as Mo-Fr 07:00; Su 09:00, 10:00.
