The process of changing the bread and wine to the Holy Eucharist (The Communion) is called Sirate Kidase (Liturgy). The book of prayer that directs the service is called the Metsafe Kidase. The Metsafe Kidase is written in three parts: First: “Let the priest say:” The priest is instructed on how to pray and chant. Second: “Let the people say:” The people must participate in giving thanks like the angels. Third: “Let the deacon say:” The deacon is told what to say, read, chant and order the people to say. All Christians without regard to age, gender, status, education level, must give thanks to God equally. Melakegenet Gezaghen This Sirate Kidase (Liturgy) was recorded and prepared in this fashion so all of the Christian faithful may participate in the giving of thanks through the Kidase. Those who have marveled at and enjoyed the special voice of Melakegenet Gezaghen, from the time of His Imperial Majesty Haile Selassie during Kidase services in Kidist Selassie Cathedral to those who witnessed his gifts in Israel, New York City, and Washington D.C., requested a full recording of the Kidase in his voice as a teaching tool and memorial to our faith for future generations. Therefore, this recording was made in 1999 to honor those requests. We thank Melakegenet for working diligently for over 30 years to keep our faith alive and strong for us and our children. We also thank the members of the New York St. Mary of Zion Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church for their support of Melakegenet for all of these years.
