Matthew 7:12 "In everything do to others as you would have them do to you; for this is the law and the prophets."

Therefore, no ad hominems. Otherwise, all topics that are relatable to Orthodox chants are permissible. All are welcome to join us in these hymns, whether you're Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, Sikh, Buddhist, atheist, or agnostic.

Psalm 150:1-6 "Praise the Lord! Praise God in his sanctuary; praise him in his mighty heavens! Praise him for his mighty deeds; praise him according to his excellent greatness! Praise him with trumpet sound; praise him with lute and harp! Praise him with tambourine and dance; praise him with strings and pipe! Praise him with sounding cymbals; praise him with loud clashing cymbals! Let everything that has breath praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!"

Searching for the scores of a 7th century orthodox composer

edit : 9th century not 7th

Hello ! I'm currently doing research on Saint Kassiani of Constantinople, a 9th century Byzantine-Greek composeress, hymnographer, and poetess (Also known as Kassia, Cassia, Kassiana, Kassiane, Ikasia or Eikasia, she was an orthodox abbess). I want to play her vocal compositions but i can't find any scores. Do any of you have some scores to send me ?

Thanks !

Help with Apolytikion translation

Hello brethen in Christ,

I am working on (an amateur level) on translations of Orthodox sermons. I am trying to translate the Apolytikion of Saint Dimitrianos, a Cypriot Saint, who is not widely known, that's why his Apolytikion isn't translated in English. So what I did is tried to find Greek expressions of the Apolytikion found in other Apolytikia of more widely known Saints (which are already translated in English) and copy-paste them. I am about 50% done. I am posting the Apolytikion in Greek and then the phrases I've found in English, the rest is in [...]. If anyone can help fill the [...], it would be really appreciated.

Blessed week ahead.

Της Κυθρέας το κλέος και Κυπρίων αγλάϊ­σμα, Αρχιερέων υπήρχεςκανών και εδραίωμα, Δημητριανέ, πατήρ ημών, ταις ευχαίς σου ημάς στήριξον, ειρήνην τη πολιτεία σου δώρησαι, και ταις ψυχαίς ημών το μέγα έλεος.

"[...] , Dimitrianos, our father, [...] grant peace to Your commonwealth, and great mercy to our souls."

Paraklesis in Slavonic

The Slavic tradition is usually a moleben with different tones than the Byzantine tones. I really like this, as the paraklesis is one of my favorite services.
