Funeral Service at the Grave for a Bishop

[gostillerz]

I'm Ukrainian Catholic in Pittsburgh, St. John's. This is the first time I've heard this song close to how I know it. I'm still having a VERY hard time with this. I can't speak Ukrainian, but I can speak the entire liturgy how Baba taught me. Nobody else can there, and it's not the same as when I was a kid. Everyone who was old and cool passed away. I'm only 32, and I hate change.

[melanie8771]

Eternal rest grant unto him and all those departed Lord. May perpetual and never-ending light shine upon him.

Amen! We shall meet again on the Last day, Bishop Basil.

[stepanstas]

Thank you very much. I am Ukrainian and was nice to see this footage.

[andreyborul]

This is in Ukrainian Greek...

[Taaanasis]

It sounds like Greek Orthodox!!!!!

[shreder9100]

It is Ukrainian Orthodox, my Grandpa's funeral was the same as this

[ReaderWilliamM11]

this burial is Ukrainian Greek Catholic and not Roman Catholic

[LIZA294]

I am Greek and orthodox!This ceremony is similar with orthodox but it's not the same!I don't know what it is!

[ReaderWilliamM11]

This is actually Ukrainian Greek Catholic

@ReaderWilliamM11

how did Basil Filevich die?

[ReaderWilliamM11]

@1986Sheri old age

[1986Sheri]

@ReaderWilliamM11

how old was Basil Filevich when he died?

[ReaderWilliamM11]

@1986Sheri 88

[kemptonjones]

@1986Sheri Bishop Basil Filevich (emeritus) of Saskatoon, passed away on April 20 at the age of 88.

[mindspring57]

@ReaderWilliamM11 That is correct. Ukrainian Catholics, who generally are from the Western part of Ukraine, that was controlled by Poland and then by Austria, are part of a sui juris church (Byzantine Rite) that is in communion with the Apostolic See at Rome.

[ReaderWilliamM11]

my dear brother in Christ!

God is always there. Why must He help mankind when they act the way you do?

[giseleademers]

We try to build unity among christians but how is it possible when such attitude persists. No matter the rituals, we are the children of the same God and share the same faith!

[nickelsT]

This is Eastern Catholic, not Orthodox.

[KozakRuss]

Easter Catholic does not exist! It is a Orthodox service. Uniates (eastern catholics) use Orthodox rites in order to convert Orthodox people into Roman Catholicism. After several failures of the Romans to impose Roman Catholicism, they had the idea to crate the Uniatism, an Orthodox Bishop, who was bought from Rome betrayed the Holy Church in order to serve Rome and persecute his people, killing children, burning and stealing churches, the name of this monster is Jozafat

"For Christ, being raised from the dead, is become the first fruits of those who have fallen asleep. To Him be Glory and dominion unto ages of ages. (St. John Chrysostom Paschal Sermon).

Christ IS Risen!

+Peace+

[dacatholicbandorgan]

this hymm is apporpriate. As Chirst's resurrecntion is the promise of our own rising on the last day.

[bjw999999]

Why are all these "NEGATIVE" REPLIES?

This is Orthodox..it's their tradition. In the Old Country..the family lowered the casket..and threw in the "dirt"..

We still do it today here in the USA.

I am not familiar with Ukranian Catholic..but I am with Ukranian Orthodox..it's an "offshoot" of a sense of the Orthodox Christian faith/sect..Russian and Greek Orthodox Christians. Guess..I'm uninformed as to this particular person. God Rest His Soul..

[ReaderWilliamM11]

luckly he was known by God through his faith. Many people found his faith strong. He was a bishop that lead many people to Christ

[LYNXVAL]

What religion is this? When My Mother in law passed away last year. They didn't have it where we were still there when she was going into the ground! touching!!

[ReaderWilliamM11]

This is Ukrainian Catholic. They did not place his body fully in the ground while the people were still around. Although I went to a Nuns funeral and their custom and tradition is that they are to be buried by the nuns while the people are still present

[bogzini]

This must have been a very religous person by all the priest present, may he live a long life in heaven, I do not understand the Orhodox faith but know they are similar to Anglican and Roman Catholic. Know this person is in heaven.

[wherestheshwa]

My deepest condoleances.

[aluminiumbikeframe]

this is a service for a late bishop rip

[Jan943]

I think she was referring to the rituals and traditionalism of the service which is often beautiful and very moving. I don't believe she was mocking the decedent in any way.

[ScoutSniperger]

I dont know who it is but god bless.

[Blackbelt1549]

God Bless!

[fmiloveyou]

RIP

[Christine0310]

I love ortodox funerals!

[Kathryn285]

Actually, in my church, we sing that song exactly the same way, but at easter... not at funerals. At funerals we sing (sorry for the spelling) Vitchnaya Pamyat.

[tallguyphl]

It looks as if the funeral was during the Paschal period where you would sing Khristos Voskrese instead of Vechnaya Pamyat.

[laurencanrapp]

Okay well for many of yu who dont know how to read, it says that this is a funeral service for a BISHOP. this isnt aaliyahs funeral,

[witsernsworld]

u are gonna be goin to hell for sayin such a hateful thing. if u dont kno who dis is then u need to mind ur own bussiness! their was not no need to say dat.

[ShadyAka]

RIP.

[liwnirrad]

WHO'S FUNERAL GRAVE RESTING IS THIS?

[ReaderWilliamM11]

This is for the last Bishop Basil Filevich

[MizzStaff]

you do kno tht this is not aaliyah's funeral... if ya actually read the more info you'd no its for late †Bishop Basil Filevich Ukrainian Bishop of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan ...

[trd221]

The mechanical device you see is called a lowering device. Nice vault too.

[jamierourketen]

is this in america? whats with all the mechanicals? can "PEOPLE" not lower coffins anymore?

[ReaderWilliamM11]

no people do not lower the coffins anymore. it is done by a lowering mechanism

[Fudala510]

its becouse some Family memebers do not like Big dirty men lowering a 500+ pound casket into the earth becouse if u search "funeral gos bad" u will see why

[mn32505]

Obviously, none of those who posted negative comments had any idea of what they were doing. SHAME on all of you. What is being sung is "Christ is risen from the dead, conquering death by death, and to those in the tombs giving life." You have all spoken against and defamed our Lord Jesus Christ. All have forgotten or never knew the following: "Love one another, just as I have loved you." (John 13:34)

[padude64]

I am Byzantine catholic

[nswapro4]

very nice service is this Ortadox? (sp)
