George Frederic Handel's "Messiah" was performed for the first time on Fishamble Street in what is now known as the Temple Bar area of Dublin, Ireland.  © Meridith Canning Photography


"Comfort ye, comfort ye My people, saith your God; speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem; and cry unto her, that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned. The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness: Prepare ye the way of the Lord: make straight in the desert a highway for our God."
Recitative (Part I)
