[hartmanalen]

Hristos a Inviat !!!

[tsyhan]

@hartmanalen Adevărat a înviat!

[shreder9100]

In our Uke Orthodox church our Xristos Bockrec Sounds different

[tsyhan]

@shreder9100 Makes sense--there are hundreds of different versions of the Paschal Troparion--XB

[Kalyna777]

СУПЕР!!!

[srdb2331]

yes.....to the whole world.......latin (west). CHRIST IS RISEN!!!!

[chicagosfinest83]

is this an OCA church, where is this? and although pascha is a worldwide church holiday where do they greet "Christ is Risen" in latin?

[CanCatholic]

This is a Ukrainian Catholic Church in Brampton, Ontario. I'm not sure if it's terribly common to greet each other in Latin any more, but hey, if you can sing it why not?

[mindspring57]

@chicagosfinest83 I do not know, but I suspect that a Ukrainian Catholic church uses Latin as a symbol of its communion with the Apostolic See of Rome. Latin is the official language of the Roman Rite of the Catholic Church, even today, so they are greeted in their official language as a matter of courtesy.

[tsyhan]

It is an easy way to explain this, but the composer/arranger is actually Russian Orthodox. Do a quick Google search for Виктор Астафьев Тропарь Пасхи. You can download the text and notes from various sites.

[mindspring57]

@tsyhan When I search for that phrase, all of the websites appear to be in Russian, and I do not read, write, or speak the Russian language. Are you saying that the Orthodox sing the tropar in Latin too? Does that practice predate the Schism in 1054? Thanks for the information!

[tsyhan]

The Roman Mass always used some Greek (Kyrie Eleison). Greek & Latin are ancient languages of the Church, though not commonly used anymore in the West. Most Russian churches use Slavonic, but it does not preempt Greek, English...or Latin. I don't think we have any hard and fast rules. "Christ is Risen!" is the most important thing. (BTW--easier to say in Latin than Jesus' Aramaic)

[mindspring57]

@tsyhan Thanks again for the information. I imagine you are aware that, in the Maronite church, the words of the Consecration are always spoken in Aramaic, regardless of the language in which the rest of the liturgy is being said. In case I did not mention it, I am a Ukrainian Catholic.

[MegaKrishan123]

@mindspring57 We use Greek and Church Slavonic as our liturgical languages, we dont use latin that much. During Pascha, in our church you can hear people joyfully yelling- Christos Voskrese! and Xhristos Anesti!

[CanCatholic]

Христос воскрес!

[musicpluslife]

Воістину Воскрес!

[SlavicMaleChorus]

Христос Воскрес ! Воiстинy Воскрес!

[stnickbyz]

Christos Voskrese!!! Very nice...

[ebtmikado]

Христос Воскресе из мертвых, смертию смерть поправ, и сусщим во гробех живот даровав!

[Catholicnerd]

I can't thank you enough for posting this. I have been laid very low by a recurrence of my panic disorder, and I really needed a reminder of Christ's victory over death and the powers of evil. Even though I am a Roman Catholic, these melodies and words are a part of my soul. I wish I lived near an Eastern parish again. Thank you so much.

Hristos Voskrese!

beautiful singing...though i have never heard the tropar sung in these tones in the russian church or even among ruthenian greek-catholics, are they uniquely ukrainian?

(i haven't been to a ukrainian church- we don't have as many here in california as in canada or other parts of the states unfortunately. i love the ukrainian churches because they tend to be more traditional and orthodox than the ruthenian greek-catholics)

thanks~

[tsyhan]

Much of what we do at St. Elias draws from different regions of Ukraine (Kievan, Transcarpathian, Galician, etc) but also Greek, Bulgarian, Znamenny Chant--and then the different composers--Bortniansky, Vedel, Rimsky-Korsakoff, Tschaikowsky etc. It makes for a very rich and varied form of response. We can always tell if we are in Great Lent, Advent, Paschal time etc. just by the "napiv"--the chant gives us the clue. All for the greater glory of God.

[metta108]

they are beautifully done, thank you for the info.

S'Bohom~

[mindspring57]

The Ukrainians, the Russians, the Greeks, the Ruthenians, all have their own music. Diversity in unity if you will.

[ellenicos]

Where is this church located? and the denomination?

[tsyhan]

St. Elias Ukrainian Greek-Catholic Church (Eparchy of Toronto) Brampton, ON Canada

[headachehealer]

God bless all men. Christ truly is Risen

[omarqaqish]

what is the text of the latin version? This is krystos aneste right? In Arabic it's called Almasseh Kam...

[tsyhan]

Haqqan qam!

The Latin Text: (3 variations):

Christus resurrexit e mortuis, morte mortem calcavit et entibus in sepulchris vitam donavit

Christus surrexit a mortuis, Morte Mortem compellens * mortuis in sepulcris largens Vitam!

Christus resurrexit de mortuis, morte mortem calcavit, et entibus in sepulchris vitam donavit.

[yakubiw]

[superukie]

Beautiful. Truly beautiful. ALL of your videos are beautiful. Makes me want to move just so I can join you in the services. This parish is truly blessed to have o. Galadza as their pastor.

[tsyhan]

Thank you--our feelings exactly. May God grant him Many Years!
