දුක්ප්‍රාප්ති ප්‍රසංගය ("dukpraprthi prasangaya" = sermon of torture) is a book written in 1728, on torture of jesus. it has 9 sermons which are divided among 7 weeks including 6 weeks of lent and holy week. this has done a great job to the liturgy in lent. here ප්‍රසංගය ("prasangaya" = show) has come from tamil word பிரசங்கம் ("pirasangam") which means sermon. so it means sermon of torture. in early years, this was used as the script for easter plays.
