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".

I thoroughly recommend Birhanes as a first class supplier

I ordered a Coptic Prayer Book from Birhanes on 8.2.24 and followed the tracking number. All went well until it got to Miami International Distribution Centre, then it stopped. I contacted Birhanes by Email and they looked into it. Almost immediately Birhanes said they would send a replacement, along with another tracking number. Following the new tracking number, I suddenly received a message from USPS saying the original parcel had left Huston and was on its way. It arrived on 21.3.24.. It seems a saga but I cannot praise Birhanes highly enough. They had no hesitation sending a replacement even though the fault was not theirs. I thoroughly recommend Birhanes as a first class supplier who go above and beyond to provide an excellent service. Rod. Hepplewhite. UK
