Gorzkie żale

Gorzkie żale

Gorzkie żale (IPA2|gɔʂkʲe ʐalɛ ; Polish for Lenten (or Bitter) Lamentations) is a Catholic devotion, containing many hymns. One part is held on each Sundays in the Lent period, and the entire ceremony is held on Good Friday. The tradition dates to the 1700s in the Warsaw's Holy Cross Church and from there it spread to entire Poland. There are five parts: "Pobudka" (Wake-up call), "Żal duszę ściska" (Sadness grips the soul), "Lament duszy" (Cry of the soul), "Smutna rozmowa" (Sad discussion); and the last part, "Któryś za nas cierpiał rany" (You who suffered wounds for us).
