I hope this works...

This a beautiful hymn in Arabic sung by the Lebanese Fairouz. It's set here to the Stations of the Cross. I just thought I'd share it; I'm learning Arabic and it's nice to find Christian hymns instead of everything being Islamic.

Edited to include link rather than embeded vid.

Yes, that is a very beautiful hymn! Before my family was converted to traditional Catholicism we were Maronite Catholics (novus ordo) and we would sing this hymn every Friday in Lent at church! :smile:

Do you speak Arabic, Hailmary? I was just wondering if you had any links to the basic Catholic prayers in Arabic? It'd be great to have some because unfortunately my tutors and Arabic-speaking friends are all Muslim and obviously can't teach me Christian prayers.

Welcome to the forum too :smile:

No, I am sorry I don't speak Arabic. Therefore I don't have any links, sorry! Also thank you for the welcome!! :smile:

Hey, I'm Maronite Catholic too and, like you, only attended the Novus Ordo. But now I'm traditional Catholic. I still speak Arabic but don't know how to read it or write it.
