The Kyrie

Fr. James Tucker gives a short lesson on the history of the Kyrie in the Mass of the Roman Rite.
This is one of the few parts of the Roman Mass that are in Greek.
Another part of the Mass that is traditionally in Greek is the Trisagion ("thrice holy"), sung in Latin and Greek during the Good Friday Mass of the Presanctified.
