Selam everyone
a couple of mezmurs for the passion week. its a wonderful week to meditate on what all the Holy Scriptures say with One voice in the Holy Spirit about the Christ the Redeemer of the world and what that means to everyone of us. the following two mezmures try to integrate some of what is said and read during the Holy Friday service within their mezmurs. the reading done is read with a wurd nibab/ using a melancholic tone of reading the scriptures.... on the second mezmur( like the Friday service) prostrations are intended to accompany each of the kyrie eleison/ Lord have mercy split between two groups as one group prostrates the other rises up and says the other half of the prayer .... or in private one can do it alone also...God bless you all.
