A children's Agpeya - the Coptic Orthodox Book of Hours, made for little hearts.
Holy Hours is rooted in the Agpeya, the ancient Coptic Orthodox prayer book of the Hours - a daily rhythm of prayer that has shaped Christian families for over two thousand years. This faithful, watercolor-illustrated adaptation brings it to children ages 3 to 10.
Drawn almost entirely from Scripture, it weaves together the psalms, the Lord's Prayer, the Gospel, and the ancient prayers of the Hours: the Introduction to Every Hour, the Thanksgiving Prayer, Psalm 50, the Morning Prayer with its psalm sequence, the First and Second Morning Prayers, the full Evening Hour, and the Evening Prayer Absolution.
Across the centuries, this steady pattern has formed saints, martyrs, monks and nuns, and families alike. The Psalms in particular have a quiet way of teaching the soul how to pray. This little book gently adapts that ancient treasure for the youngest hearts, lovingly retold in words a child can pray and understand.
A Coptic mom wrote: He looks forward to it. He likes to repeat the end of each page like Amen or Alleluia. I would recommend it to any family who wants to establish prayer as part of their daily routine.
The Alleluias and Amens she describes aren't a gimmick - they are the doxologies and closings of the Agpeya itself, the way our Church has prayed for two thousand years. Your child is learning to pray the Hours.
Inside Holy Hours:
- 43 watercolor-illustrated pages from a Coptic Orthodox family
- The Introduction to Every Hour, the Lord's Prayer, the Thanksgiving Prayer, and Psalm 50
- The full Morning Hour with its psalms, the First and Second Morning Prayers, and the End of the Prayer
- The full Evening Hour with its psalms and the Evening Prayer Absolution
- Coptic illustrations: the censer, the iconostasis, Christ Pantocrator with IC XC, the Theotokos, the Coptic cathedral, and the ornate Coptic cross
Perfect for Coptic Orthodox families, baptism and namesday gifts, First Confession, Coptic Christmas, Sunday school, and any Coptic home where the Hours of prayer matter.
May Holy Hours become a small daily harbor for your family - the very first seed of a lifelong love of prayer.
