[333Vitalia]

А хіба можна використовувати інструменти(тут я чую барабани) під час служби? чи це не служба? шо взагалі таке?

[xOLExINGxVARx]

@333Vitalia ,це африканське розуміння православної служби. До речі,євреї в Старому Заповіті робили так само.

[choosing2lookeast]

I'd LOVE to go to a Divine Liturgy at that church someday!

[aleksod]

This is pretty awesome!

[jeanserge21]

I'm Black and orthodox, and I found this highly insane!

[ikonographics]

@jeanserge21 I'm white, Orthodox and African (and brought up in mission work) and it looks pretty normal to me! :-)

[IoanShoji]

@jeanserge21 I'm Asian and Orthodox. I found this highly impressive!

[IoanShoji]

@jeanserge21 I am Asian and Orthodox. I found this highly impressive and quite interesting!

[effimia3]

@drgdrf why you commenting if you don't believe in God yourself? Christ is Risen...!

[sapunarius]

Truly Wonderful! Indeed He is Risen!

[greekgoddess347]

wooo! Xristos Anesti the soul way!

[mattymoo]

I have watched this like 5 times since I found it - I LOVE it. I have heard the same thing re: bells/percussion instruments. The Ethiopian Orthodox Church - though not in full communion with the rest of Orthodoxy - also uses drums at certain times during the liturgy as other Churches would use bells. I have never seen any group of people THAT JOYFUL on Pascha - and the Orthodox can be pretty joyful :)

[debmalack]

It is my understanding that "drums" replace "bells" in Africa; they have no bells to ring!

Fr. Joseph Kwami Labi was a classmate at St. Vladimir's Seminary; he and Gertrude visited our family in Binghamton, NY, when Fr. Steven was the priest at Dormition of the Virgin Mary Church. Good to see them again!

[jeanserge21]

@debmalack And the dance? What is it for? Clapping hands?

[Teslas]

Love it!

Christ is Risen! Indeed He is Risen!!

[zekarja]

I like the drums at 0:26

[MrGermanik]

Христос воскрес !



[tsyhan]

@MrGermanik Воістину Воскрес! Truly He is Risen! What a great video!

[ArizonaKnightWolf]

For most Priests, Easter is a long night!! They start with vespers Saturday Evening, then there is Midnight Mass, and a lot of Orthodox Churchs have a church get together after the mass, so that means things don't slow down for them from about 7 P.M. to well after 3 a.m., and then it starts early Sunday Morning. But it is a joyous celebration, and they don't really mind. They are celebrating!!!

[1integrity]

Wonderful worship! Christ is Risen! I pray one day we can here this beautiful Orthodox worship in our American Orthodox Churches as well :-) Bring on the drums, the cymbals and the timbrels :-). We will also have them in Heaven as seen in vision of Apostle John in Revelations of our future :-).

[njpieck]

Thank you for sharing!!

[129archangel]

Christ is Risen!

A lot of parishes can learn from this parish...."Christ is Risen" should be sung up-tempo and with joy!

More than 4,000 views in less than a day!

[bealtown]

That was just great! One of the best Pascha videos I've seen. I would like this Fr Joseph in my own church. They really have the Paschal joy, and artistic flair to express it in the own authentic way (and with good voices!). I suppose the drum accompaniment must be an Ethiopian influence; I know they play drums in church after the services have ended: the equivalent of the Russian zvon.

[LoveServePraise]

Christ is Risen! Wow! Joyful faithful!

[dmd53]

Tears of joy! Christ is Risen!

[hurleyfx8]

Indeed he is risen

[stjosephugcc]

Truly Christ is Risen!

[mihankhah]

Very interesting. Thanks for posting!

[lgdrexler]

Now I want to go to Ghana for Pascha!

[canadagoose4ever]

I love it. It's so jubilant! Christ is risen. He is risen indeed!

[catlover1019]

Not only is the singing beautiful, but one has to love the way these parishioners sashay up to get the eggs.

[Agincourtbow]

The wonderfully animated priest is my friend and mentor, Fr. Joseph Kwami Labi; with him is Presbytera Gertrude, and they are at a beautiful church in Tema, Ghana....on the sea coast.

[OtKrash]

Father choir director does have the Paschal spirit, but the chief celebrant looks like he had a long night.

[OlHa1972]

@OtKrash

actually East chirch ceremony in ortodox chirch begins at 22.00 and ends at ca 03.00 . its why the priest looks tired:) excuse my bad english:)

[awilliams17414]

[pablononescobar]

Gotta love the priest who's conducting the choir!

Christ is risen!
