Lamentation is as old as humanity itself, the capacity for it instilled in the first humans. Yes, it is a Judeo-Christian practice too as King David, the prophet Jeremiah and others have shown. While ignored or disdained by the modern (Western) world, it remains a practice of indigenous people globally. The chants of my own Lakota family and the Irish ballads too are filled with expressions of lament, healing prayers lifted up in hope and love.
