Happy Feast of St. George!

I wish all my blog readers a happy feast! Mor Gewargis (St. George) is a big feast for many in the world, the people of Middle East included. In honor of Mor Gewargis, I've translated and transliterated the concluding bo'otho for sootoro of his office (from the fenqitho).

Lilyo of Friday

Here is the Lilyo of Friday.

Another [Lilyo] office with the interesting watch for departed priests. Once I get the opportunity, I'll translate the choir version of the optional watches for departed and the optional watch for monks.
