LOTS OF THANKS FOR THIS WONDERFUL GREETING TO US IN SWEDEN OVER THE ATLANTIC OCEAN AND THROUGH THE SKY! GOD BLESS YOU RICHLY GREETINGS from Lars and Helena ❤❤❤
What a wonderful presentation. The aerial wintry footage, was spiritually uplifting & breathtaking. Thanks for sharing this just as many Julian Calendar communities are now preparing to celebrate the Lord's Holy Nativity!
This was beautiful. I'm new to Orthodoxy, can someone explain to me why this concert didn't occur on January 7th of next year? I'm not trying to stir the pot, I'm genuinely curious, because I thought old calendarist celebrate Christmas on January 7th.
Thank you for your comment and question. You are correct that we celebrate the Feast of the Nativity of Our Lord Jesus Christ on January 7 according to the Gregorian or New Calendar, which is December 25 according to the Julian or Old Calendar, which latter calendar we as traditionalist Orthodox Christians maintain and observe. This concert, however, was not the liturgical celebration of the Feast of the Nativity, but was rather a public performance of carols, which are traditionally sung throughout the period before and after the actual day of the Nativity. The date of the concert was also constrained by considerations of the availability of the venue, as well the availability of members of the choir, many of whom spend the weeks surrounding the Nativity elsewhere with their families.
