10 Desember – 8 Januarie 30 dae 15 gedenkdae van heiliges

Kiahk is die maand van die Geboortevas en die groot middernaglofsange: week na week hou die Kerk saam met die Theotokos die nagwaak en sing die tasbeha tot dagbreek. Sy geliefde leuse lui — “Kiahk, jou oggend is jou aand” — en aan sy einde breek die lig van Betlehem oor Egipte deur.
