Derived from the Coptic word tee-agp, meaning, "hour," this refers to the book prompted by the Coptic Church to be used as a guide for prayer by all people. It is arranged in canonical hours (which mark the divisions of the day in terms of periods of fixed prayer at regular intervals), with each hour with its own theme, and each containing mostly selections from the pslams, which are meant to be prayed. There are usually 12 psalms in each hour, the number of which can be traced back to a miracle involving Abba Pachomius of the Egyptian desert when an angel appeared, recited twelve psalms, and vanished. For this reason the formula of 12 psalms has been given the name, "The Rule of the Angel." written in book titled, "Orthodox Afterlife".
