Listening to and singing this hymn on Palm Sunday 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, my best attempt at some semblance of worship at home. What a comfort it is to hear these powerful words sung now. May God preserve the Orthodox Church, and her faithful unto the ages. Amen.

My dad,St. azarus from Bethany really was the first one back from the dead with his family,the second time too. He really was St. Bernadette of Lourdes,my Aunt Louise Catalognas holy spouse.
Byzantine chant is where most of the music of Asia Minor (now Turkey ) developed form as it goes back 1700 years. The stile and musical forms were so much part of the life of the Christian population it affected the development of other music in the region.
