In the [[Coptic Orthodox Church of Alexandria|Coptic Orthodox Church]], [[Armenian Apostolic Church]] and [[Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church]] the whole Book of Revelation is read during Apocalypse Night after [[Good Friday]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://suscopts.org/resources/literature/222/night-of-the-apocalypse/ |title=Night of the Apocalypse |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230404174734/http://suscopts.org/resources/literature/222/night-of-the-apocalypse/ |archive-date=2023-04-04 |publisher=[[Coptic Orthodox Diocese of the Southern United States]] |access-date=23 May 2018}}</ref> Biblically Ugo Vanni and other biblical scholars have argued that the Book of Revelation was written with the intention to be read entirely in one liturgical setting with dialogue-elements between the reader (singular) and the hearers (plural) based on Rev 1:3 and Rev 1:10.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Vanni |first=Ugo |date=1991 |title=Liturgical Dialogue as a Literary Form in the Book of Revelation |url=https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/new-testament-studies/article/abs/liturgical-dialogue-as-a-literary-form-in-the-book-of-revelation/50544029342CC67BF81545C1F7CE1780 |journal=New Testament Studies |language=en |volume=37 |issue=3 |pages=348–372 |doi=10.1017/S0028688500015927 |s2cid=170638316 |issn=1469-8145}}</ref> Beniamin Zakhary has recently shown that the structure of the reading the Book of Revelation within the Coptic rite of Apocalypse Night (this is the only biblical reading in the Coptic church with a dialogue in it, where the reader stops many times and the people respond; additionally the entire book is read in a liturgical setting that culminates with the Eucharist) shows great support for this biblical hypothesis, albeit with some notable difference.<ref name=":0">{{cite journal |first=Beniamin |last=Zakhary |year=2022 |title=Support For The Biblical Liturgy of Revelation in the Coptic Tradition |journal=Doxology |volume=33 |number=4 |pages=6–23 |url=https://zenodo.org/records/8060812 |doi=10.5281/zenodo.8060812}}</ref>
