Midnight Praises (Tasbeha)
After Vespers and before the Morning Praises, the Church stands to praise her heavenly Bridegroom, anticipating and eagerly awaiting the arrival of the Lord.
He who testifies to these things says, “Surely I am coming quickly.”
— Revelation 22:20
Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be dissolved, being on fire, and the elements will melt with fervent heat?
— 2 Peter 3:12
