Помощник и Покровитель Russian Orthodox Chant in Lent

[Strefanasha]

I couldnever convert to Orthodoxy, as I take our doctrinal differences too seriously. But I have been to Russian Orthodox services as a sympathetic observer and friend of the russians who invted me there. I found the atmosphere most conducive to myown silent prayer, even if i could not understand the old slavonic liturgy, except for one or two utterances:

slava Otsu, I Sinnu, I Svyatomu Duchu.

a truly fascinating experience

This is gorgeous. I have been Orthodox for nearly one year now coming from a Roman Catholic background. I have never experienced the profound worship that I have experienced as an Orthodox Christian. It took me over 20 years to convert but I am so glad that I have and feel the richest blessings that I have ever felt in my life. The Latin Mass has nothing compared to Orthodox worship and I was a devoted worshiper in that liturgy. Come to Orthodoxy to be rich in faith.

Помилуи мя, Боже, Помилуи мя....I am not sure there is another way to sing this in the whole world.

[PravoslavnaOhridska]

Russia and Serbia will always bless its Old Church Slavonic... +CCCC+...

[SStrengari]

May we all pray to the Holy Trinity and the Blessed Mother that Orthodoxy and Catholicism can return to one another. As a traditional Catholic I lament the split between our two Churches it pains me that we are separated. God Bless my Orthodox brothers and sisters!

The Chant is most beautiful and most important. Your video suited well. Thank you for posting..

It's almost Yule. Symbols of the star, the sun.

Christ a gateway to something older. Sun and ice. Bless.

Not a religious personn (atheist, agnosticist, as you want), but those chants are just mesmorizing. Thank you.

[CeltPerson]

I love all Orthodox chants (Then again, I am orthodox, so I should), but espically the chants and hymns of the Slavic churches are my favourite! Many thanks for this video, greetings from a Bulgarian Orthodox in America.

No need for excuses on the pictures. It captures well the monastic, repentant spirit of these hymns from the beginning of Great Lent.

[ahti0]

I love it! I rejoice with you that the church is back at the heart of the Russian nation. This is a work of God!

А какой это хор поёт?

[Mamalyzhenko]

Очень похоже на хор Свято Успенской Киево-Печерской Лавры.

[orghhh777]

Wonderful! I wish i'd be orthodox christian, not lutheran.

[Estrellina79]

Hi :-) My friend Laura, italian, also used to be catholic ;-), but now she is orthodox and live here in Moscow :-)

[randolphsonone]

Twenty years ago I made the long journey to Orthodoxy. I is not automatic nor easy. The journey was worth it.. Christ is born, Glorify Him. Feast of the Nativity 2008

[YoureAbsolutelyRight]

dear randloph.,

I don't get why something would take a long journey.

.

Surely when something is seen as "better than" some existing thing, the discarding of the former is intantaneous?

.

If you remember one of two chairs being much more painfully uncomfortable than the one adjacent to it, you will, when choosing, immediately sit on the more comfortable seat; no?

.

cheers.

[monachos81]

Come on home, my friend. The water's fine! :-)

God bless you on your journey in Christ, wherever it may take you!

@orghhh777 I started as a Baptist (mom's church), then Methodist (dad's church), then joined Church of the Nazarene, then Assemblies of God, then United Pentecostal Church International. Then, Eureka! Finally, I discovered Orthodox Christianity! I converted to Eastern Orthodox Church via Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America (jurisdiction of Orthodox Church of Constantinople). :D
