I'm a Roman Catholic. But, oh my God, what a beautiful cerimony!
✠ DOMINUS VOBISCUM ✠
☩ LAUDATE DOMINUM ☩
When I was a child, all women covered their heads in The Church: not only Orthodox.... ALL.
We can only pray for such piety to return to the Church
Women used to in any church
@@hannahs1683 Yes! What is your point?
All the women covering their heads... Very much appreciable...not seen in rest of the Europe I feel...Love the liturgy....From an Indian Orthodox Christian
Привет тебе!
Some women in all orthodox churches around all europe cover their hair
Oh how I wish choirs / singers / clergy in other liturgical traditions sang this well and correctly; especially the clergy. I am Anglo-Catholic in the tradition of men and boy choirs. What a shame that many traditions are now falling into a great apostacy. I love and admire the Russian Orthodox Church and pray that they keep their great traditions and especially the music going as is! So red blooded, fully human and with total conviction, full commitment and spiritual - all in one. GOD save Russia and all true Christian; especially from the great trial and turmoil to come.
Thank you my parents married in the Russian Oxadox church. We were cristed in the Russian Oradox Church and gone to the the beautiful church. My grandfather was a active member. My grandparents came from the beautiful country Russia. God Bless.
Do you mean Orthodox? Sorry if its rude but if people see this they might not know.
Love it...greetings from your othodox neighbour, Romania
God bless my brothers and sisters in the Russian Orthodox Faith in Mother Russia. I'm a Russian Orthodox Christian in ROCOR parish in Massachusetts I love them all....
Beautiful. I just wish that there were subtitles.
Old Russian was very difficult to read...
coming back, or really never spiritually left the orthodox church
In my church it felt empty.
Not a place to intersect with God.
It was cliquish, political, a business...people weren't necessarily decent.
This excerpt does touch my soul... priest, ritual, holy passages... makes me want to pray here!!!
What a terrific upload! The 'ancient Russian hymnody' referred to here is exactly that - the ancient znamienny and diemiestvienny chants - here sung in full according to the Obychod (the book of canonical church chant) at the Divine Liturgy of St. john Chisostom. These are original medieval Russian chants sung as they would have been sung at the time of Alexander Nevsky. They would have also been sung by the hold congregation. The singing tradition was preserved by the 'Old Believers' (followers of the Old Rite or 'staroobriadovtsy') so fortunately, the tradition was never lost. One of the best things I've ever seen on youtube!
Да благословит и сохранит Господь!
many thanks for posting this from a Russian Orthodox convert in Tennessee, USA
twopekes Hello, I was wondering how many orthodox christians in the US? Thanks.
+Gospodine Kot Please forgive my late response as I am not online much during the week. There are between 2 and 3 million Orthodox in the U.S., per www.oca.org.
Not enough.... Sadly
@@GrishgoL More and more every day. I am the warden of a parish under the Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia, and our parish is mostly converts. We meet very far from major roads and is hard to find, but we get a new inquirer every single month. I have a friend in a different parish where every single person is a convert.
It sounds so good in Slavonic!
This is so interesting, thank you for posting! So, if I understand correctly, this is a reconstruction of liturgical repertoire of the 17th century with a commentary during the ceremony. That commitment to preservation of repertoire and education of the congregation is admirable, my heartfelt congratulations.
It’s so curious to see antiphonal singing and instances that actually sound similar to Gregorian chant that I recognise from my Catholic background, and moments that sound closer to the music I have heard here on UA-cam in Greek and other Orthodox traditions, I guess that speaks a lot to the common root from which all these practices sprung from.
Also, as professional opera singer, what glorious singing, especially from the basses...
Я атеист на 99%... но с таким удовольствием сие действие посмотрел, красиво и сильно!
I'm a Catholic of the Roman Rite, but, I like to watch and to listen the Divine Liturgy, especially, the Divine Liturgy of St Basil the Great.
Basil or Crysostom here???
@@geoffreyridleybarrow4906 - this is Chrysostom. I am Ukrainian rite Catholic, So there are a couple of aspects that we have used from Other and Post Nikonian Liturgy, and even only allowed Modern Ukrainian Liturgy after 1968. It looks near identical to this
Thank you for this beautiful video presentation! What a privilege and blessing for so many to view this Liturgy! May God's blessings be upon the Orthodox Russians and all the Orthodox who struggle in this great Faith!
I could cry, It is so beautiful! Glory to Jesus Christ!
Русь Святая, храни веру Православную, в ней же тебе утверждение.
Lord, bless and save Holy Mother Russia and her people!
Господе, благослови и спаси Свету Мајку Русију и њен народ!
На Многаја Љета!

Do you believe that being Russian gives you a special relationship with God?
@@blackoutninja You don't have to bi Russian but ORTHODOX for sure.I'm Serbian and I think that our brothers Russians are the leaders in Orthodox Christianity. God bless Russia ,Serbia and others Orthodox nations.
Amen
how beautyful
I'm from afarick I love Russia because i'm orthodox
Thank you very much for sharing .. this is beautiful truly beautiful God Bless from Alberta Canada
I so admire and love my Orthodox Slav brothers. You have retained such liturgical purity and practices. Seeing the piety of the people is inspirational. I am a Eastern Catholic saddened by what the Roman Rite has become; a Protestant gathering. I sincerely hope and pray that all my Orthodox brothers may very soon return to communion with Rome. You needn't sacrifice any of the beauty of your liturgy, customs, hierarchy, etc.
With love and hope, God bless us
Petrus Josephus Oh well, again a "catholic" trying to express his admiration and love for us and our customs, while also implying that it is us who abandoned the church and its traditions. We have retained the true christian faith and this is the reason why our liturgy is truly still a liturgy to god. The church of Rome has unfortunately failed to do so. No scholastic theoretizising can undo this. You cannot serve the pope and the Lord! Took me a while to realize this and become orthodox.
sicarius55
well said! very well said!
the false flattery of papists, whether they be latin 'traditionalists', novus ordo's, or the saddest case these *_UNIATES_*, are the sort of duplicity that Eastern Orthodox spirituality abhors as the lies of the devil. these papists and ecumenists have nothing better to do than troll Orthodox videos because the papacy has destroyed nearly every vestige of ancient Christianity that it used to once possess.
_"19And a certain scribe came, and said unto him, Master, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest. 20And Jesus saith unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head"_ - Matthew 8_19, 20
cc: Petrus Josephus
Petrus Josephus you asking the Eastern Orthodox Church to embrace papism is asking the chaste bride of Christ to commit spiritual adultery and fornication with the man-made papism.
to you papists and ecumenists: we Orthodox not so politely say NO THANKS! WE ARE *NOT* INTERESTED IN YOUR POPE.
_"This is the word that the LORD hath spoken concerning him; The virgin the daughter of Zion hath despised thee, and laughed thee to scorn; the daughter of Jerusalem hath shaken her head at thee."_ 2 Kings 19_21
Godly Mathew I'm glad His All Holiness Patriarch Bartholomew doesn't hate us Catholics the way many of his flock do. The devil loves division, God hates it. It's NOT false flattery. Many of us Catholics love our Orthodox brothers and sisters and pray daily for reconciliation. One flock, one Shepherd.
Petrus Josephus The reason that the Roman Rite has become a Protestant gathering (in many cases, there is far more dignity and theological fidelity to the Christian faith in many Protestant services) is precisely because of Roman papal ideas -- namely, that any change, no matter how ugly, irreverent, and taken from thin air, is OK as long as one is in communion with Rome and as long as the pope doesn’t outright condemn it (thus tacitly approving those changes.)
And make no mistake about it, every pope from Vat II on fully approves of ALL of the abuses visited upon the Roman Rite in the name of the spirit of Vat II -- after all, they have the full authority of the magisterium and none of them lifted a finger to try to clean house.
Why on earth would we Orthodox want anything to do with an ecclesiology that created the travesty that is the modern Roman Rite? The only reason why the eastern rites aren’t just as bad is because your criteria for authenticity are ultimately outside the Roman church? The whole purpose of Uniatism is to try to entice Orthodox Christians into communion with Rome by giving them something that looks like Orthodoxy even though it isn’t. So you can’t change much -- even though many in communion with Rome would like you to. But not because anything in Roman theology or ecclesiology prevents you from creating your own eastern-flavored “Protestant gatherings."
Protodeacon explains about the history of the Liturgy and how it came to be as it is now.
Wonderfull Liturgy......
Scusa ma perchè dite che la chiesa romana cattolica è satanica e malefica quando invece è completamente uguale a quella ortodossa?
Ceci n'est pas l'opinion de l'Eglise orthodoxe mais de certains "extrémistes". Le fait de ne pas être en communion est comme toute division y compris au sein de l'église orthodoxe, inspirée et favorisée par Satan ce qui ne veut pas dire que l'Eglise romaine est "satanique" évidemment.
I love Orthodox lithurgy!
Wonderful music! How much better the native Russian polyphony than the westernised polyphony introduced from the 18th century on.
this is really good. I love it
Amen
What and where is the church? I saw the icon of Virgin Mary "I am with you and no one against you!" Wonderful! The icon was painted by nuns from the monastery Leushinski with the blessing of Father John of Kronstadt, wasn't it ?
I believe it is the Isaakievskiy Cathedral, located in the central area of St. Petersburg.
Спаси Господи люди Твоя, и благослови достояние Твое, победы православным христианом на сопротивныя даруя, и Твое сохраняя Крестом Твоим жительство!
This is without doubt the greatest upload on UA-cam, giving us all not only an insight into how the Episcopal Divine Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom is served in full canonical splendour, but also the beauty and power of our ancient Slavic chant.
Господи, спаси нас и сохрани святую Церковь Твою во веки веков!
On the other hand, the old chant, usually so deadly dull, is here wonderful indeed.
I usually can't stand znammeny but if you know how to sing it it's beautiful.
Breathtakingly beautiful. So reverent! This is the way the Divine Liturgy or Mass should be celebrated and sung.
I really like the more "western" face of Orthodoxy in its Russian iteration. I would just hope that Kremlin and the Patriarch weren't so close together: it seems that whenever the church is too close to power it tends to lose its way.
Warmest regards from Croatian Orthodox Church to our Slavic and orthodox brothers and sisters in Russia.
There is no such thing as Croatian Orthodox Church
@@SRBOMBONICA86 Yes, there is. According to the census of 2011 there are 16,000 Croats who are orthodox. This number is expected to be larger at the census of 2021.

@@martinmladic2474 E moj Martine, zarobljenik si predrasuda.
Kao prvo, ima Hrvatske pravoslavne crkve, i na čelu joj je sjajni arhiepiskop Aleksandar, školovani pravoslavni svećenik koji nam je došao iz Bugarske. Za tvoju informaciju, prema popisu stanovništva iz 2011., u RH ima preko 16.000 Hrvata koji su se izjasnili da su pravoslavne vjere.
Kao drugo, očito misliš da sam Srbin koji je iz SPC prešao u HPC, ali nisam. Ja sam Hrvat koji je s katoličanstva prešao na pravoslavlje, a SPC me nije zanimala iz gomile razloga od kojih ću navesti SAMO DVA.
a) Hrvatska treba imati svoju pravoslavnu crkvu, onako kako je imaju i Grčka, Bugarska, Rumunjska, Crna Gora, Makedonija, ali i jedna mahom katolička Poljska itd., tako da smisao postojanja HPC nema ama baš nikakve veze s Antom Pavelićem.
b) Zar da idem u SPC čiji aktualni zagrebački mitropolit Porfirije javno potiče pjevanje četničkih pjesama i sam ih pjeva - u "čast" popa četnika Đujića koji se "proslavio" pokoljima nad Hrvatima u LIci u II. svj. ratu ?.

"Each to pray according to their need"- priest states
¡Beautiful!
Early in my faith I heard a liturgy in English, with the Russian hymns. I seem to remember these voices. But in English. It was magical and heart warming to me. Any ideas on this recording?
Was it only men singing? I think there was a Valaam monastery tape in English I liked so much. How long ago was it that you had that recording you are looking for. Did you ever find it, and if so, what was it?
KK, I don't believe it was men only. There was an unimaginable bass singer, and some of the most heavenly sopranos. It was Heaven on Earth, in my ears, in English. I want to cry thinking about it. My parish was at the time Russian. Well, Russian synod? But my priest was Greek, and almost all the parish were converts. My priest had so many tapes. It was the 1997 time frame when I listened.
Absolutely beautiful, a lovely antidote to the Happy Clappy C of E!
Breathtakingly beautiful
Very nice
Please arrange for full English & Russian subtitles for this entire video, so that I can use it to learn the Liturgy and meaning in English, at the same time as being lifted to heaven by the glorious singing. Please exploit this excellent material for further educational outreach. Nothing is lost if more people can understand the beauty of the orthodox more fully. Please find people to do this. Thank you for this holy gift which moved me as I listened. It has the effect of making me want to become orthodox.
Is it possible to underline the Liturgy?

There is nothing like orthodox doctrine
The language is called Church Slavonic and it is the most similar today to Serbo-Croatian, being a South Slavic language. "Ancient Russian" is fine.
I wish I had this in English. Is it available? Please, inform me! (Unfortunately, Google Translate needs written Word to function!) PS I'm an OCA Member but have little Russian/Slavonic. Peace!
That's just as well, as Google translate was likely to not give a very canonical translation (jk)
The 1st reading is chanted in Slavonic then it is read in Russian.
Don't ask of God for self

Give thanks to God

Nice.. any English Translation?
This whole video needs a translation into English VERY badly.
I’m pretty sure that The Lord would bless anyone willing to do it.
What is the hymn called at 22:45?
Beautiful arrangement, isn't it. It seems to me that our convert church also has a lot of music in this style.
Jesus said - Blessed are the peacemakers,
for they will be called sons of God.
Liturgic question: I am curious that during the Trisagion when a bishop is serving, I have seen a variety of practices. 1. The bishop using the candles and cross vs using trikiri and dikiri is one variation. Also, the bishop saying "Lord Lord look down from heaven" 3x, in various directions. Sometimes I see it only said 1x with quietly saying "Holy God,... etc" after the choir responds and then continues" Holy Mighty," etc. Is there a reason for the variations?
+hypnobuddha1 ALso is this on CD to purchase?
As igrejas Russas são muito lindas...
hi please what's the title of the song on the 1h47 ? thanks
Could veey easily done without the docent tour guide deacon. It's the Liturgy, do we really need an unending exhortation throughout, even the presiding bishop seems to be possessing his soul in patience with resignation and some difficulty. Besides, it's all the same kind of pious cant one is altogether too used to in most Russian tradition churches. I know there are good preachers in the tradition; where are they?
How it is called the Communion song?
I wonder what the caption "Divine Liturgy in ancient Russian hymnody" means. Does it mean that the language of the priests and the chorus is Church Slavonic or or Old Church Slavonic ? I don't speak Russian so any help will be appreciated.
George Sigalos The language is Church Slavonic (there is only one Church Slavonic language). But the musical settings are of Russian origin. They've been slightly re-composed to add additional harmonies. (the original settings were only a single melody line with no harmonies written)
George Sigalos It means: in ancient Znamenny chant.
St John the Baptist Orthodox Church I believe that at least some of this music is Demestvenny chant -- early Russian polyphony that predates modern Russian harmonization. Much of the unfamiliar sounding harmony heard here is not music "re-composed to add additional harmonies," but rather represents original harmonizations from the 1500s and 1600s that pre-date the Nikonian reforms. And some of the harmonized settings are quite simply "modern" Russian chant settings that blend very well with the older music being reintroduced into liturgical use here.
oldwest517 You are, of course, correct. But I decided not to make the answer more complex than it needed to be. Most are unaware of Dmestvenny chant altogether, and all ancient Russian chants are simply known to be "Znamenny", simply because their notation was done in Kryuki. Even several Old Believer friends of mine are rather ignorant of the Dmestvenny settings, as they don't use them in their parishes that I know of.
+oldwest517 It would have been nice if they would have stuck to the Demestvenny style of chanting during the "O Come Let Us Worship" rather than defaulting into the typical harmonized melody that is often used .
ماشاءألله ماشاء يسوع ماشائة مريم

Is this based on the liturgical texts used by the Old Believers?
No. The Old Believers just continued using the older ones, So they don't have a Basis in anything. This is just the rite that was used as the time, so yes, it LOOKS like old Believers, But they aren't in communion at all, they're essentially Orthodox Protestants
Na mnogaya lieta=for many years!
I have been seeking the notes of the hymn at 22:44 more than a year...
Did you find it yet? I could ask our Russian choir director. But if I do she might make the choir sing it and it sounds hard lol (it is really beautiful though!)
@@KKIcons Thanks, I have found the hymn. It is called "Only Begotten Son". Unfortunately I have not found the wonderful version performed in the video.
28:36
Great sacred music! Who's the composer? Giovanni Pierluigi Palestrina or Orlandus Lassus?
Are you serious with this question? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Znamenny_chant
Who are the choirs who are performing?
as far as I know, these are St. Isacc's Choirs.
please tell me what song starts at 20:45

As long as Cahtolics, Orthodoxs and Protestants keep sperated, the Islam will continue its advance.
I am Catholic from Birth, raised and schooled Catholic, ... When I was 54, While working in Moscow 2010, I met my current wife, She is Orthodox, we are married in the Orthodox Church and I am very proud to be accepted into the Russian Orthodox Patronage. This is the Finest Pure Society in the World. My wife is a treasure blessing from heaven, The kindest most precious person I ever met. She is from Belarus. I could write a book about what I have learned in the 9 years I have know her...
Catholic and Protestant followers and pratices have been fractured down since the schism of 1054AD...
Pure Islam is a most sacred beautiful religion in its intended form, I have many Muslim friends and reside in the U.A.E.... Historically and surprisingly, Our Blessed Mother, Angel Gabriel, The Birth of Jesus Christ, All the Prophets are spoken of in the Holy Quran.
Our Bible is in my opinion a Historical Documentation of the Life of Our Lord Jesus... with references to the Saints, The Holy Quran is a Sacred Document which relates more to how one should live their life and shoulder themselves with brotherhood and Love separated into Versus.... Both Sacred Documents share many similarities.
All religions unfortunately have been twisted in time... The Russian Orthodox Church has remained steadfast maintaining its Liturgical heritage. I am proud to be in the Human Race because of Russia and the Related Orthodox Churches.
Russian Orthodox Priests have the option of Marriage. The Catholic Priests are somewhat out of touch with everyday reality - responsibilities of an average Married Man who must traditionally care for his family. They have become pampered and set themselves behind closed doors... The problems this has led to I don't have to mention. Is why I am dedicated now too Orthodoxy. I highly recommend anyone to attend Liturgy at an Orthodox Temple, It Will Change Your Life.
I asked Our Archbishop why people stand the whole time during the Sacred Liturgy, he surprisingly said with a smile, ' Would You sit down if you where in the presence of God' !
Islam is an abomination, The Butchering of God. At the very least, The Catholics and Orthodox Should rise up over Protestantism, as to cooperate Against our common foe, which is the Cult of Mohammed. Even if we are schism to each other, We at least believe the same things Holy; the Meccans have their Cube to pray towards, And they Have persecuted Latins and Greeks both under their Banner of Islam
Beautiful. Really beautiful. But wrong title. There's no such thing as ancient Russian language. Old Russian maybe, either Slavonic language... but ancient Russian? That's from the 18th century!
The title is referring to the singing (распевов)", Which is all based on pre-16th century settings. I could contend that's not really "Ancient" either, but I translated the English title directly from the Russian one, and the word "древнерусских" literally means "ancient Russian"
That explains it. I see. Thank you for the video.
Not really a fan of the "teaching" aspect of it.
I love christianity ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ amen halleluya
It appears to me that the congregation doesn't participate in the singing or chanting. Are they just spectators?
This varies depending on the parish. In many parishes there's a high amount of participation in singing from the laity; I notice this with Antiochian parishes especially. For parishes with large choirs like this one it's probably less so.
Was I the only one who cried during the Consecration?
No sound

Why is the congregation so sombre and glum? Christian worship is supposed to be Joyful, especially when conducted with such beauty
I wouldn't say glum, maybe simply trying to be reverent. I don't think the people look particularly downcast
A lot of them have been though some very tough times. The almost PTSD fear of making a mistake can be caused by tough older ladies in the past who beat them up if they didn't behave. I hope they have managed to rein those ladies in a little so the churches will be more friendly to outsiders (ie. such as not getting shoved or smacked upside the head for standing in the wrong place. At my old church, the priest tried to instill a healthy fear that if we were to visit Russia and did things wrong, the Babushkas would get us.) Irl, I don't think it is possible to stay orthodox for very long without having a sense of humor.
personally I APPRECIATE seeing the serious faces. SO much in the West is so casual, irreverent, watery thin, infected with ease. Suffering breads seriousness. Once a young girl was given complete authority over a church choir, wanting to re-make it more "happy", more "upbeat". I cried for 6 weeks at the travesty hoisted upon the centuries old spiritual
depth of liturgical music, and the poor older suffering souls upon which the "upbeat" was heaped.

The russian language came from ukrainian language
No. Both languages came from a common root, Old East Slavic. Belarusian also comes from this root.
Nikolai B. First slavic language was made in present day western ukraine. Learn history
@@mattiassinabafagas356 except it wasn't known as Ukraine then, and the language was not known as Ukrainian. So to say that Russian came from Ukrainian is foolish. Especially given the fact that "Україна" means "on the borderland". On the border of what? Of the 12th century Kyivan Rus'. That is the first time the word is ever used. Hundreds of years AFTER the first slavic language is developed, known to linguists as "Proto-Balto-Slavic"
