This an American Orthodox chant sung in the bluegrass style of the beautiful Appalachian mountains and forests. The last painting in the video and the one in the thumbnail is of St Herman of Alaska, he was a Russian Orthodox Missionary who came to Alaska for missionary work.

beautiful. good video brother

[@trytotruth]

Thanks for your kind words man, but do tell me if I have mistranslated anything. I like making Christian chants but I do have a tendency to mistranslate some of them*

@@trytotruth Nah you did great, surprised you are not a native English speaker. Honestly, foreigners are a lot better at speaking English than many natives from America.

This was performed by two seminary students as a joke. It's the only song like this in existence that I know of, there are a couple different videos of it on KZbin, the original and with echos added to make it sound like it is in a church. And there is a variant performance of it recorded by an Orthodox church in West Virginia, as part of a Christmas concert they recently did. I hope this becomes a whole new genre, it's so fantastic.

Doesnt sound like a joke to me...

[@t0pclips811]

Look up the Christ is Risen hymn in Appalachian style!

[@blakelindsey8211]

I don't think this was a joke. There are quite a few people in the American Church (OCA) that have been working slowly on developing uniquely American chant tones, and I imagine this was one of those efforts.

[@trytotruth]

either way, this is a beautiful chant ☦

[@ironblitz6054]

Just a small correction, the church that did the Christmas concert is in South Carolina. It’s my parish actually, and probably one of the best examples of what am American Orthodox Church could be

That first church I believe is in Homer Alaska. I spent a lot of time in those mountains as a child.

[@trytotruth]

oh I didn't know, that's pretty cool man.

[@dimitrivukasin6867]

And the second is St Michael's in New Archangel Alaska.

[@lenahelen7189]

This is actually used liturgically at Saint John of the Ladder in SC. Here it is in a concert of theirs. Inspired by the seminarians, the melody is authentic. All glory to God as we develop ourselves for His Holy Name! kzbin.info/www/bejne/mWPHaamtoddrp7Msi=CE800yvAqciddh8U

Grazie a nostri fratelli Ortodossi Evangelizzatori il popolo autoctono Alaskiano è Cristiano, ha conosciuto il Vangelo di Nostro Signore Gesù Cristo, Salvatore del mondo. Benedizioni da una sorella Cattolica Romana . Da Napoli ❤Italia

[@tohokugirl8144]

There are Orthodox monasteries in West Virginia as well. Good job combining local to Orthodox chant. Its not a joke per se.

Not sure, most of the awesome art I find is from Pinterest. I got it from here: www.pinterest.com/pin/678354762636222267/ It says the painter is Mikhail Shankov 🙂

Yes, the One (One Body) Holy (Established by God) Catholic (The universal faith for everyone) and Apostolic (From the Apostles) Church (The Body of Christ) and if I am not mistaken in the Bible it is said to be THE pillar and foundation of truth. ☦😎

Is that supposed to be natives american in the background?

[@trytotruth]

Background of the thumbnail? I believe so. St Herman Of Alaska, look up his life

[@PaxMundi118]

Who here recognizes the primacy of the Roman Pontiff?

[@trytotruth]

Primacy as in first among equals, not supremacy. I am Eastern Orthodox. I would recommend videos by Ubi Petrus if you are interested in comparing Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Ecclesiology. 🙂
