Holy Friday Lamentations (Eggomia) - Greek Orthodox Stasis 1, 2, and 3

In our Greek Orthodox faith, during Holy Week, we have an intense experience attending services, chanting hymns, and praying.  On Holy Friday, we light candles, chanting hymns and processing around the church following the flowered epitaphio.

Here, I share the stasis of the Holy Friday Lamentations (Eggomia) that are sung Holy Friday evening. I play the music with my violin. Some of the music arrangements (stasis 1 and 2)  are from the newbyz.weebly.com site, and I thank them for it! The words included in all the videos were translated from Greek to English by Nancy C. Takis.
