In Christ, Nicolaj

Didn't understand a word, Nina, but just listening to this music was uplifting.

Something else I really enjoy are the Russian and Romanian church choirs. Why don't we have something similar in Greek?
I know that the chant is the traditional form of music in the Orthodox churches and that Russia and Romania have been influenced by non-Orthodox habits, but their choirs are so unbelievably beautiful that this is one change I would gladly support.

Dear Effie,

There are subtitles on that YT video I think - at least that's how I view the video. Can you see them also?

I agree that the choirs of the Russian Orthodox Church are beautiful. Actually Nicolaj (some days ago my fiance and I had the blessing to meet with Nicolaj briefly

) just gave me two CDs from Bishop Hilarion of Vienna and I am so delighted to listen to them (His Grace just composed them during traveling last year as it is said in the info on the CD).

However all chants are marvelous and of course the Greek ones I love too. Orthodox chants in different languages are like roses and lillies ... all beautiful... I am not sure I can say to change one. I also have the Paraklisis in Arabic and love it (I meant to write love in all capital letters). I am looking at the moment for some Spanish Orthodox chants cause it sounds also very beautiful.

Nina, I didn't actually watch the video itself. I clicked the link and then listened as I was working on something else on the computer. I sometimes find that by just listening to something I can absorb it better. I certainly missed a lot by doing that this time!

A beautiful video and certainly worth watching.

Thank you for posting the link.

Hello Nina and Nicolaj

many thanks for these posts... the videos are absolutely beautiful.
The Arabic hymn is i think is a holy hymn of the christmas day service.

Christ is Born!

I just got goosebumps while listening to this. That's usually a pretty good indication that something has spoken to my heart.

Thank you Nicolaj.
