What gives you the idea that this has anything to do with Slovaks? This is essentially a Ukrainian carol with a melody shared by Poles. And this particular version is sung by Holy Ghost Choir of Philadelphia, which is a Carpatho-Rusyn church... the language is a mix of Church Slavonic and Rusyn/Ukrainian. Nothing whatsoever to do with Slovaks or the Slovak language.
Please at least give the choir credit if not the correct ethnic groups.
Thanks for the info. I'm sure you are correct. From what I know they do sing this song in Slovakia as well and my church has it's roots from the people who came from there. I will change the description so it isn't misleading.
Carpatho Rusyns, also called Ruthinians, come from what is now both the Ukraine and Slovakia. Holy Ghost in Philadelphia traces its roots to immigrants from The Austro-Hungarian Empire, today's Slovakia. This is what it has to do with Slovaks.
@rcuster12@stooge35 My late mother Anna Rusyn was a Rusyn (it was even her maiden name) from a small town, Ulic, on the Slovak side of the Ukrainian/Slovak border! So it has something to do with the Slovaks since most Rusyn's lived there in Slovakia and on all sides of the Ukrainian border - even on the Polish side! Have heard much better versions of this from the actual choirs/people in those countries!
Very nice Ukrainian carol!

A Catholic Byzantine Christmas Carol!? Bullshit! It's a traditional Russian Orthodox Christmas Carol!

You know what? It's both actually.
In fact, I'm a Lutheran and I grew up singing this too.
So stop acting like a religious nut and enjoy the song.

@MattDiClemente I grew up singing "Jingle Bells", but I'm not saying it's a Serbian Orthodox Christmas carol. Let's just not talk bullshit, ok?

HRISTOS AMID US!
1:1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
1:2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
Psalm 1. ( fragment ).
Just to say Hallo!
Slobodan.

Nebo is zeml'a, nebo is zeml'a
Nyni torjestvujut.
Anhely l'ude, anhely l'udy
Veselo sprazdnujut'.
: Christos rodilsja, Boh voplotilsja,
Anhely spivajut, Carije vitajut',
Poklon otdajut', pastyrije hrajut',
Cudo, cudo, povidajut'.
