Although The Passion of Our Lord is the Gospel, it was sung by a woman in our church. Needless to say that she is neither a priest nor deacon.

I must admit, she has a fabulous voice and did a fantastic job.

I have never been at a Good Friday Liturgy in a Catholic Church that did not break up the Passion of the Lord into parts, with three individual readers (Narrator, Jesus, and Other), plus the whole congregation taking the part of "Chorus" or "Crowd."

Of course, the whole congregation includes laymen and laywomen.

I've never heard of the Good Friday Gospel being sung, except in Latin. Did this woman chant it in English?
