@@aidannodommI think the former makes more sense. It was a musical essay on Russia and their people, and Orthodoxy is very integral to the culture. This represents their distress and the plea to God for assistance in their time of need, followed with the struggle and climax and the jubilant finale after they are delivered from their national peril.
Спаси́, Го́споди, лю́ди Твоя́, и благослови́ достоя́ние Твое́, побе́ды на сопроти́вныя да́руя, и Твое́ сохраня́я Кресто́м Твои́м жи́тельство. Спаси, Господи, людей Твоих и благослови принадлежащих Тебе, помогая побеждать врагов и сохраняя силою Креста Твоего святую Церковь Твою. Sauve, Seigneur, ton peuple et bénis ceux qui t’appartiennent, en aidant à vaincre les ennemis et en préservant ta sainte Église par la puissance de ta croix.
I'm roman catholic, but I love very much orthodox songs. And this is one of my favorites. In far past my ancestors were orthodox christians, and I'm thinking about to back in my ancestors faith. And maybe I'll do it ..
I'm in a similar boat! I grew up catholic but have some personal reasons for leaving. Orthodoxy seems like the natural direction to move in--the mysticism of it is very similar to catholicism, I think.
''Habitation" dwelling, living place, house. Orthodox worship only God. Icons and the cross they venerate, they don't worship icons or the cross. The Greek 'Latreia' to worship, is reserved for God alone. The Greek 'Dulia' to venerate or respect is for Saints, Icons, the Cross, etc.
Τhey were fighting for Holy Russia, for their homes, their families their Churches And, of course, the Tsar ! Napoleon was staging a campaign of conquest ! He had no idea what would happen to his army and to him!
Gee, this is the Holy Orthodox Church! What you are seeing is the original Christianity!:) This is how prayer was originally said! This is how religious services were conducted. The music itself will carry you, and your soul, away to a heavenly place. All time stops, during Liturgy. It is Heaven on Earth!:)
You bible punchers fail to realize that Icons aid in the instruction of the Faith. When illiteracy was rampant, the Icons told the faithful the Scripture. Study the early Church Fathers.
Tchaikovsky Incorporated this into the beginning of The 1812 Overture
Incredibly wise choice 😃
I thought this was from the 1812 Overture, not the other way around!
and the finale reprise.
I was thinking that sounded familiar.

A hymn for our times.
That's the version I grew up with in the 60's on.....
Holy Orthodox Church 💐🕯️✝️🕯️💐💖🙏
One of my absolute favorite Troparia. It goes through my mind every day, at some point.
It is basically the anthem of Orthodox Christians
O Loard, save the people 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Maybe that’s why the Russians were able to beat back Napoleon

Napoleon was staging a campaign of conquest !
He had no idea what would happen to his army and to him!

What does "preserve thy habitation" mean? Pardon my ignorance.
Asking God/Christ to preserve where his Holy Spirit Dwells. For example his Church, Bodies of Orthodox Christians (Temples of the Holy Spirit).
@@bigg4879 This brings a tear to my eye and a longing to my soul. God be praised!:)
@@suzpro8165 Yes. "Christ is born!! Let us Glorify Him!!!"

Do not worship idols. Only worship the Almighty God jehovah.
Orthodox Christians worship the Holy Trinity only. They do not worship idols.
Isn't this truly worshiping God? I believe it is and do.
Gee, this is the Holy Orthodox Church!

That's what is done here, only Almighty God. 🙏🏼
