• ... that Christians belonging to the Indian Orthodox Church and Coptic Orthodox Church pray at seven fixed prayer times? Source One: "Prayers 7 times a day are enjoined, and the most strict among the Copts recite one of more of the Psalms of David each time they pray."Source Two: "As a kid growing up in the Church, I always heard that we are supposed to pray a total of 7 times a day. But, I never really knew what that referred to. Where did the idea of 7 times a day come from? It was King David, the Psalmist, who wrote “Seven times a day I praise You, because of Your righteous judgments” (Psalm 119:164). In correlation with David’s model of prayer, the Church has developed 7 hours of prayer and they are as follows: 1. Evening Prayer (Ramsho or Vespers) – 6PM 2. Bedtime Prayer (Soutoro or Compline) - 9PM 3. Night Prayers (Lilio or Nocturns, with three “watches” or Quamos) – 12AM 4. Morning Prayer (Sapro or Matins) – 6AM 5. 3rd Hour Prayer - 9AM 6. 6th Hour Prayer - 12PM 7. 9th Hour Prayer - 3PM"
