Read about the History of Kiahk Praises http://www.copticheritage.org/studies...

"In parish worship it is customary to celebrate the Evening Offering of Incense on the eve of any day when Eucharist is to be celebrated. In the morning, Eucharist is always preceded by the Morning Offering of Incense. And during the month of Khoiak, a sort of Coptic Advent in preparation for the celebrations of the Nativity cycle, the very popular proper office called the Psalmodia of Khoiak, made up chiefly of ecclesiastical poetry in praise of the Mother of God, is celebrated in parishes in the presence of huge crowds." + Fr Robert Taft, S.J. "The Liturgy of the Hours in East and West:The Origins of the Divine Office and Its Meaning for Today" 2nd Revised Edition (Minnesota: The Liturgical Press, 1993) 259.
