Fil-Liturġija tal-Knisja hemm Uffiċċju partikolari li jissejjaħ: l-Uffiċċju tal-Qari, li huwa maħsub għas-sigħat tal-lejl qabel ma’ jibda’ jbexbex il-jum, tant li dari kien jitqassam f’notturni. Matul il-Ġimgħa Mqaddsa, in-Notturni kienu jiċċelebraw il-misteru tad-dieqa tal-mewt li ħass Sidna Ġesu’ Kristu u għalhekk jissejjaħ l-Uffiċċju tat-Tniebri. Għat-tielet sena il-Karmnu fl-Imdina qed noffru l-opportunita’ li niċċelebraw l-Uffiċċju tat-Tniebri fil-jum tal-Erbgħa […]

Due to its flexibility it […]
