This is a humbly made video of the Paschal celebration beginning at Midnight. The priest chants "Come Receive the Light from the Light that is never overtaken by Night, and glorify Christ who is Risen from the Dead.' This hymn is repeated by the chanters and then by the choir.
The Allen MDS organ suffered a stroke on Holy Tuesday night. It seems to have recovered, but sounds a little bit different.
If you do not speak Greek, I would suggest finding out which Church has celebrates services in 50/50 (Greek/English) or all in English. Most churches have service books in the pews to follow along. That also might help you.
Otherwise, make friends with Greeks and ask to go with them to church you.

It's beautiful and holy-seeming indeed.
I'm very interessted in converting but I really don't know where to begin. There are many Orthodox churches near me but I'd feel too strange just dropping in on Divine Liturgy one Sunday without having a clue as to what's going on. One of these days I'm going to stop being such a wimp and I'll just call a church up on the phone and ask whoever picks up what to do.
