Moleben to the Holy Spirit

First part of the molieben to the Holy Spirit at the Greek Catholic Cathedral in Uzhgorod, Ukraine, June 2006.

I wish I had been able to record all of the moleben, but was worried the battery would give up before the end and this was the beginning of the day.

Yes there are pews in the cathedral, though they aren't particularly visible in this video.

Yes it is possible!

No pews!

Sorry to dissapoint you. Actually there are four sets of 3 (or maybe it was 4) pews built on stands on the floor. Two sets on each side of the aisle. I am standing in one of the pews which is how I had a reasonably good vantage point for recording the service. A pew can be seen at the lower right corner of the screen.

@24dinitrofenilhidraz Yes, the Orthodox Church is not restricted to any ethnicity or nationality. For example, in Mexico there are Orthodox churches with Mexican clergy and parishioners.

This is the direction that the Ruthenian Church should be going in the USA. Beautiful singing!!

Glory to Jesus Christ! Beautiful! Thanks for posting. I recognized the troparia (one of the octoechoes) used in the U.S. Byzantine Churches. A Russian Orthodox site said we Carpathian Byzantine Catholics still use the tones that were once used in Constantinople, before it fell.

Anything else you might be able to glean would be greatly appreciated!

At least you can't see the pews!
