Andjeli Pevaju
Noć prekrasna i noć tija,
nad pećinom zvezda sija,
u pećini mati spi,
nad Isusom andjel bdi.
Andjeli pevaju,
pastiri sviraju,
andjeli pevaju
mudraci javljaju:
Što narodi čekaše,
što proroci rekoše,
evo sad se u svet javi,
u svet javi i objavi:
Rodi nam se Hristos Spas
za spasenje sviju nas.
Aliluja, aliluja,
Gospodi pomiluj!
Божићна песма, МС Ступови.
Božić, Božić, blagi dan,
Blagog Hrista rođendan,
Božić, Božić, svetli dan,
Sav svetlošću obasjan.Djeva Hrista rodila,
Pelenama povila,
U pećini Hristos spi,
Sveta Djeva nad Njim bdi.Slama lepo miriše,
Bogomajka uzdiše,
Utom zvezda zasija,
Pećina se zagrija.Anđeli se spustiše,
Pastirima javiše:
Vesel’te se svi noćas,
Rodi nam se Hristos Spas!Kad to čuli pastiri,
Srce im se umiri,
Pa kliknuše svi u glas:
Nek’ se slavi Hristos Spas!Nek’ mir svuda caruje,
Nek’ se srce raduje,
Nek’ se svako popravlja
I Gospoda proslavlja.Pa, gle i mi Srbčići,
K’o srebrni zvončići,
Bogomajku hvalimo,
Hrista Boga slavimo.Božić, Božić, blagi dan,
Blagog Hrista rođendan,
Božić, Božić, svetli dan,
Sav svetlošću obasjan.
Byzantine Sacred Art Blog: Christmas Song
The Heavens are Singing
With Christmas fast approaching, take a moment to soak in the angelic song written by St. Bishop Nikolaj (of Zhicha) and performed by the group of Serbian musicians and children, with few scenes from Belgrade in the background. Video clip from the studio recording is also available on YouTube…
P.S. One of the performers of the above song is Divna Ljubojevic, a well know Serbian Church chanter. You can hear her sing Eastern Orthodox liturgical chants here.

Beautiful version of the classic Christmas song by Andrea Bocelli, from his ‘Sacred Arias’ concert.
THE GREAT TENOR, ANDREA BOCELLI’S CHRISTMAS SONG (just in time for the holidays!)
Comment by ArrrMaltie :
Hi. Actually, I took clips from 5 films. Jesus of Nazareth, The Jesus Film, The Greatest Story Ever Told, The Ten Commandments and The Passion of the Christ. I wanted to put the lyrics in, but did it backwards so they didn’t work. Now I know how to do it right. The lyrics truly are needed for the second verse.

Sung by the psaltic choir of the Romanian Patriarchy
Bishop Christodoulos of the Holy Metropolis Greek Orthodox Church discusses the purpose of Orthodox Christian prayer.
“This is a video I made about our awesome Orthodoxy. This video goes through a lot of different Christian Orthodox churches from all around the world. Some pictures of Christian Orthodox churches are from nations like Serbia, Greece, Russia, Syria, Georgia, Armenia, Ukraine, Jordan, India, Japan, Ethiopia and lots more…Also, some famous Christian Orthodox individuals!”
This video presents some sights and sounds of the Orthodox Church.
“Photos that I found of the Orthodox Church in Mexico. The music is chanted by the Choir of St. Georges Cathedral in Mexico.”
That depends upon the country, or in the US, the archdiocese. There are several different Orthodox jurisdictions in the United States. This is for historical reasons – they were founded here at different times by missionaries and immigrants from Orthodox Christian countries. While each jurisdiction is in communion with the others in terms of doctrine and religious observance, each jurisdiction preserves its own customs inherited from its country of origin. These include traditional celebrations of holidays and saints’ days, liturgy and music in different languages, foods served on feast days, and so forth.
It is important to point out that one need not be a member of any particular ethnic group to attend services or to join. Everyone is welcome, without regard to race, color, or national origin.
One of the major differences is the use of the old (Julian) calendar versus the new (Gregorian) calendar to determine when feast days are to be celebrated. The Orthodox faith is decentralized to the extent that this is a matter for each jurisdiction to decide. For instance, the Serbian Orthodox Church uses the old calendar, so that December 25 in the old calendar falls on January 7 in the new calendar (the calendar that we use every day for secular purposes). The Greek Orthodox Church, the Antiochian Orthodox Church, and the Orthodox Church in America (OCA), all celebrate Christmas according to the new calendar (December 25).

Buy the concert on DVD:
http://www.a-cappella.com/product/646/video-performance-pop The original members of Straight No Chaser perform their comedic version of “The Twelve Days of Christmas” at the Musical Arts Center, Bloomington, Indiana. December 7th, 1998.NOTE ABOUT THE DVD: It’s out of stock, but you can pre-order it. HOWEVER, of the 2500 copies we had pressed, over 1600 of those are already sold as pre-orders. That leaves less than 900 copies available for purchase. When those are gone, they’re gone. I’m not pressing more, because I don’t want to have to store them if they don’t sell!
