Hello, I have a Christian groupchat for anyone who's either a new convert, curious about the Faith or has a calling to intercede for others. The group is made from people of all faith backgrounds uniting to learn more about our Lord everyday. Everyday we post a Bible reading so that can remind you to read the Bible. Moreover, we give daily advice on Christianity. You can ask any question you like, (even the controversial ones). We need new members to pray for each other and share the Faith.

Please join the group if you are interested.

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."

This is one of my favorite chants of all time, the melodies just "hit different".

Enjoy ☦

I hope this is a proper place to ask but Im amazed when I go to church and hear the chanting and I have strong urge to learn it myself, could you guys give me some advice where should i start and what should i learn first, maybe some easy tones/song recommendation. I would appreciate every bit of advice given.

I would like to still sing them in my own language I hope that wont become problem when learning because we don’t have much learning material(perhaps I need to look into it more) because most of the learning will be in English I imagine. I would like to quote that I have pretty much no experience with singing and I hope this isn’t a hopeless dream/task ive set form myself.

My goal is not to become and amazing singer, I cleary lack talent for that, I just want to worship god and maybe perhaps one day I could join my church singers, I imagine It feels amazing to be apart of that.

Have a blessed week!

I know this is from a meme channel but I cannot find this chant again. Mynpost was removed from Orthodox sub. I think it's a Greek version of Kyrie Eleison and I'm really liking for this exact version. Thanks
