The Liturgy was written and published in 1976 as a minimal tribute to the student uprising of November 1973. Today it is being republished because the sacrifices of the fighters for freedom and justice are easily underestimated and forgotten. The book is accompanied by a digital disc containing musical compositions and recitations based on the texts.
