The Lamentations of Jeremiah

ERCopt

Hello all,

Blessed Holy Pascha to you all.

I would like to ask if there is a specific "right" way to recite the Lamentations, said in the 12th hour on Good Friday. 

I have heard many different recordings, and since I live in the USA, I have also heard some crazy English ones.

Asking because I'm interested and also because I will be saying 1/4 of it this year in English. (wish me luck!)

The recording I am using is linked below (it's in Arabic, but I am going to say it in English):

i get all my tunes from this website, so try here:

(disclaimer, i am not a chanter, nor do i teach hymns, but i have been an orthodox Christian for 17 years and the tunes here seem to work for most churches!)

'mabsoota' because i am most happy when in church :)

thank you tant (idk if I should call you that, but based on the comments I have seen from you, you are older than me so correct me if I am wrong)

I'll check out this recording, thanks!

u welcome, yes ppl who are around 20 call me tant, the first time it happened i was shocked, then i checked my age and i was over 40, so it was perfectly fine! that was a while back.

age tends to creep up on you, just when you think you are still quite young, someone asks if you have come to collect your (over 18) daughter and then you realise you can't gatecrash the youthgroup any more...
