Improperia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Improperia are a series of antiphons and responses, expressing the remonstrance of Jesus Christ with His people.[1] They are also known as the "Reproaches". In the Catholic liturgy they are sung as part of the observance of the Passion, usually on the afternoon of Good Friday. In the Byzantine Rite, they are found in various hymns of Good Friday and Holy Saturday.
