- Cherubic Hymn (Bortniansky) and Great Entrance on Pascha
St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church
Oak Lawn, IL
5/1/2016
Let us who mystically represent the cherubim and sing the Thrice-holy Hymn to the life-creating Trinity, now lay aside all earthly cares.
In an 1877 letter to his friend and patroness Nadezhda von Meck, Tchaikovsky wrote:
For me [the church] still possesses much poetical charm. I very often attend the services. I consider the liturgy of St. John Chrysostom one of the greatest productions of art. If we follow the service very carefully, and enter into the meaning of every ceremony, it is impossible not to be profoundly moved by the liturgy of our own Orthodox Church... to be startled from one's trance by a burst from the choir; to be carried away by the poetry of this music; to be thrilled when... the words ring out, 'Praise the name of the Lord!' - all this is infinitely precious to me! One of my deepest joys!

Beautiful
I know this in English. Very Beautiful. Different because in Greek obviously and the Greeks use an organ
Organ in Orthodox church?
This has to be an Eastern Catholic Church - perhaps I’m wrong, but several things have gone sideways if this is an Orthodox parish... I’m largely concerned with the use of an organ.
No, according to the description on another video, same church, same channel, it is “St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church in Oak Lawn, IL”. Interestingly, also there are Baroque ORTHODOX cathedrals in the Ukraine & Lithuania with STATUES the same as any Baroque ROMAN CATHOLIC church.
We Eastern Catholics though have been commanded to reject & extirpate all Latinizations & any other foreignness: “[E]ach and every Catholic, as also the baptized of every non-Catholic church or denomination who enters into the fullness of the Catholic communion, must retain his own rite wherever he is, must cherish it and observe it to the best of his ability…History, tradition and abundant ecclesiastical institutions bear outstanding witness to the great merit owing to the Eastern Churches by the universal Church. The Sacred Council, therefore, not only accords to this ecclesiastical and spiritual heritage the high regard which is its due and rightful praise, but also unhesitatingly looks on it as the heritage of the universal Church. For this reason it solemnly declares that the Churches of the East, as much as those of the West, have a full right and are in duty bound to rule themselves…All members of the Eastern Rite should know and be convinced that they can and should always preserve their legitimate liturgical rite and their established way of life, and that these may not be altered except to obtain for themselves an organic improvement. All these, then, must be observed by the members of the Eastern rites themselves. Besides, they should attain to an ever greater knowledge and a more exact use of them, and, if in their regard they have fallen short owing to contingencies of times and persons, they should take steps to return to their ancestral traditions.” (Orientalium Ecclesiarum.)
I was baptized in a Macedonian Orthodox church in America, but it had been Russianized & Americanized, much like this church. All vestments are Russian-style, & the music of all hymns, except “Gladsome Light” & possibly 1 or 2 others, are Russian or Russo-Kievan. The church has a choir-loft & organ (although neither was used by the time I was there-only a keyboard was used, only for leading notes), is full of pews, & all windows of the nave are stained glass. Although many Eastern Catholic churches have pews, none of these changes is supposed to be in any Eastern church.
And I married a Ruthenian Catholic, but there are no other Ruthenians here, & we went to a Roman Catholic priest who told my husband he cannot be made Roman Catholic, & who consulted & obeyed the Ruthenian Eparchy, which ordered him to make me Russian Catholic-I had accepted the Russian Rite. I didn’t have even the option to become Ruthenian (or Belarusian Catholic, according to ¼ of my ancestry), to say nothing of any Latinization. St Pius X told the Russian Orthodox, e.g. Anna Abrikosova, who wanted to join Catholic communion, about their Rite, “No more, no less, no different.” And w/i the Ruthenian Eparchy, some churches had taken on Latinizations, but it was never acceptable to the pope, & things are being corrected. For example, there are nuns w/ an “order”, in Latinized habits, but they are almost all old, dying out, while there is a newer Ruthenian monastery, indistinguishable from the Orthodox in Rite, w/ young nuns, gradually growing. And within the past few yrs there has been a new young bishop, fresh from Slovakia, leading the people in a closer adherence to the Rite. Russian Catholics have no eparchy yet, but are on the Old Calendar. “Revised Julian” that my Orthodox church is on, which impairs liturgical observances, is not allowed. And one of the most traditionally Orthodox churches I know of is Ukrainian Catholic, St Elias. Nobody can accuse them of the least Latinization. W/ no Russian or Ruthenian Catholic church here, we attend a Ukrainian mission, & it has to borrow a Roman Catholic chapel, but the chapel has a big Byzantine icon crucfix, the mission has 2 life-sized portable icons to serve as the iconostasis, & the organ is never touched, neither any keyboard. We sing absolutely a capella.
So I believe there was an unfair generalization.
Adam Rosner Unfortunately, this is in fact an Orthodox Church. am an Eastern Catholic, and I am absolutely appalled by this bastardization of the Liturgy. We Eastern Catholics do have our fair share of Latinization problems at times, but NOTHING anywhere NEAR as bad as this. We never use an organ in our Liturgy. This is terrible. This isn’t the first time I have seen an Orthodox Church use an organ, however. I’m with you, brother. Something went very wrong here.
@@davidfigueroa8188 all organized religion is pagan. Images and all
@@kristina0410 So the first Christians were pagan?
Too fast - it needs to be 3/4 time.
Very poor liturgy
