Hello there,
I am wondering about the Greek mass for a funeral. I have read, so
well as I am able, the Requiem Mass in Latin, and was struck by the
'Dies Irae'.
Now I am wondering whether anyone has the text of the Greek mass, or if
that extends back far enough that it would be considered a part of the
Greek on this site. I would think so.
My father just died. Upon the death of my mother, while I am
Protestant, and not Roman Catholic, I did employ the introit and part
of the sequence, the Dies Irae. So powerful a statement. The RC folks
who were there, followed the introit after hearing it in Latin.
Now I am wondering about the Greek service. I do not speak modern
Greek, and any Koine pronunciation, while I greatly admire the work
that Mr. Buth has done, I would stumble over. But I would like to know
where one may find the text of the Greek service, since so far as I
gather, it must date back to the mediaeval Greek church.
I hope this is the right place to ask this.
