Historical Audio/Visual Study of Prostopinije

I would encourage all to take a look at (and listen to) this terrific YouTube channel dedicated to Prostopinije: CarpathoRuthenica

This channel appears to be an extension of the equally excellent Slovak-language website: Irmologion (attributed to David Pancza).

We have added a link to this YouTube channel on our main page, and to the website on our Prostopinije Links page.

Half way to Pentecost ...

As we are now in the octave of mid-Pentecost (New Calendar), we as cantors, chanters and choir members are reminded that Pentecost is just around the corner. My how slowly Great Lent seems to pass, yet how quickly the Paschal season flies by!

Have you considered doing anything special for Pentecost Sunday? Our parish choir will be doing a few things, including the very traditional Invocation of the Holy Spirit before the homily.

The Holy Spirit shall descend on you, and His power from on high will enlighten you!

Duch Svjatyj snidet na t’a, i sila vyšňaho osinit t’a!

Here's a version which may be of interest: The Invocation of the Holy Spirit (Choral)

May the grace of the Holy Spirit be with all of you!
