I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day: Organ Prelude
Organist Anthony Asmar performs an improvisation on "I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day," at Sacred Heart Church in Norfolk, Virginia as a prelude for the Vigil Mass of the Feast of the Holy Family, on December 28, 2024.
"I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day" is a carol based on the American poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's poem, "Christmas Bells."
Poem Text:
I heard the bells on Christmas Day
Their old, familiar carols play,
And wild and sweet
The words repeat
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!
And thought how, as the day had come,
The belfries of all Christendom
Had rolled along
The unbroken song
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!
Till ringing, singing on its way,
The world revolved from night t...

      Yes, it is in E flat! I like the sound of it a little more in that key, and it's close enough to the original that the congregation can still sing.

    Hearing this and knowing that one day I’ll probably be responsible for planning my parents’ funerals, it makes me cry, but in an almost comforting way. Especially when I think of my father who is a doctor. I truly believe this song was written specifically for medical professionals. Think about the lyrics. The lyrics to this song are pretty much the oath that every medical professional takes when they graduate. And for me, this song is the epitome of everything my father is.

    Is there a biblical explanation for this kind of Trinity icon? Doesn't the gospel say that no one has ever seen God? The Father with a beard, is there some explanation in the scripture?

    • @roringusanda2837
      @roringusanda2837 8 месяцев назад

      It's just an artistic convention. The Father must of course be older than the Son...so represent him as an old man, kingly, with a white beard. We are said to be made in his image, after all...think how you would "explain" things if you could only do it pictorially.

    • @Masahanate-777
      @Masahanate-777 8 месяцев назад

      No one has ever seen the Father, God is a Spirit He does not have a body like us creatures. The Son of God (the Word of God) incarnated and became a man therefore we can make icons of Him. But the Father? Unbelievers and pagans will because of their ignorance of our faith. will assume that we are pagans because of seeing icons like these@@roringusanda2837

    • @Masahanate-777
      @Masahanate-777 8 месяцев назад

      The phrase “in His image and likeness” does not refer to physical appearance but rather to the spiritual qualities that humans share with God. It signifies that humans possess characteristics such as reason, morality, creativity, and the capacity for relationships, which reflect the divine nature. While God is understood as a spiritual being without a physical body, humans are believed to mirror certain aspects of His character.@@roringusanda2837

    • @a.demian
      @a.demian 8 месяцев назад

      Anyone who has seen me, has seen the Father. God the Father gave us his image in Christ Jesus, his son. That's the biblical explanation. It is however not the most theological thing to depict the Father as an old man, even a man.

    • @Masahanate-777
      @Masahanate-777 8 месяцев назад

      @@a.demian Our Lord Jesus Christ is the eternal Word of God, he did not have a human body in the beginning but when he became incarnate he took on a human body so we can draw him. But drawing the Father as an old man with a beard like that is why unbelievers who don't know Christ accuse us Christians of being a pagan religion. Because they see icons like this
