FAQ's - Why do we say alleluia?

Alleluia comes from the Hebrew word which means ‘praise Yahweh’. It appears as a prayer in the Old Testament psalms and as a chant of the saints in heaven in the book of Revelation. It was taken over by the Christian liturgy as the response of those redeemed through Christ. In the mass, the alleluia verse is our way of responding to the second reading and preparing for the proclamation of the gospel. For Christians, the word alleluia is full of celebration, life, strength, freedom, and all other liberating qualities offered to us through the resurrection of Jesus.
