Friday Theotokia - from Friday Evening Thursday Night Kiahk Praises Live in Coptic Cathedral

The Coptic Church Kiahk Vigil Praises can happen daily, or, as happens in most churches today, happen on Sunday Eve (Saturday Night). Here we have Pope Tawadros (Theodore) of the Coptic Church, with several bishops, deacons (including Ibrahim Ayad), monks, and laity, all spending an all night Kiahk vigil service on Friday Eve (Thursday night through Friday morning) in the Coptic Cathedral in Cairo, Egypt on December 18-19, 2014.
