I just watched a Holy Week service with Ibrahim Ayad and he concluded each prophecy even if there were 2 prophecies of the same author like you said Minamakar.
It's not really the same because you don't start the same way- If you chant a psalm you start with "Psalmos to David Alleluia"- If you chant a Tawaf on its own, you start with "Alleluia"
@Minatasgeel: unfortunately in my Church we don't chant the tawaf except when there's a Bishop but we don't chant marouchasf on its own. Which one are you refering to?

My guess would be that it is for time-management purposes.Doing this procession during every single Liturgy would make the Litur…
Hi Jojo_Hanna,
I don't know, I asked them on Facebook but never got an answer.

Hi Minatasgeel,
Thank you very much for your contribution :)
