Kiahk: the month of beautiful praises
Seven and four and everything beautiful - why Copts love the Kiahk praises and how to live them.
What the Kiahk praises are
In the month of Kiahk the Church adorns itself with the Kiahk midnight praises in preparation for the Nativity: daily praises to Saint Mary, the most famous being "Seven and Four" mid-week.
The spirit of the month
Kiahk is not merely melodies; it is spiritual training in hopeful waiting, as the fathers and prophets awaited the coming of the Saviour.
Living it at home
Set aside even fifteen minutes a week to listen to the Kiahk praises with the family - on my channel I publish recordings of the Kiahk praises every season.
