The title calls this a "Christmas Carol" and "Byzantine Hymn". But this is not a carol, and it is not just another "Byzantine Hymn": it is THE Christmas Troparion written by the incomparable St. Romanos the Melodist, shortly after a vision of the Mother of God in which she unlocked his talent.

GREAT ARABIC CHANT! I'm proud to be Catholic!

[@IlariaRaluca]

+adrian christi I'm proud to be Christian but still, this chant is Orthodox Christian.

[@williamaddoumie6072]

+Raluca Demetrescu St. Romanos the Melodist was born and died before the great schism which separated the the church into the eastern church and the western church, so this was written when the Church was united. Also St. Romanos the Melodist is venerated by both the Orthodox Church and the Catholic Church. So no this is not an Orthodox Christian Chant.

[@devdasrai]

This is an Eastern Orthodox chant, not a Catholic one.

[@williamaddoumie6072]

Iman Allen Did you read what I wrote? And tell me why is it an Orthodox chant?

[@devdasrai]

+William Addoumieh Yes, this hymn may have been created by Saint Romanos, but it is not used in the Roman Catholic Church. This hymn is known as the Kontakion of the Nativity. Kontakions are styles of hymnography that became associated with the EASTERN CHURCH after the schism. Kontakions are believed to have derived from a style of chanting developed by Saint Isaac the Syrian, an Eastern Orthodox saint. Go and do your research. Many of Saint Romanos' kontakions are used in/associated with the Orthodox faith and are VERY rarely ever used in Roman Catholicsm and are almost never associated with the Roman Catholics, therefore can you really say that they are both? I don't think so. Go and search up this Kontakion as a matter of fact. You'll have a hard time finding a single Roman Catholic source providing the hymn or a single article/website in which the Roman Catholics are also given acknowledgement for the hymn.

Ce chant est si beau, les paroles si profondes, qu'il m'est impossible de l'écouter sans être sincèrement bouleversé. J'ai grandi avec le chant grégorien, une des fleurs de la chrétienté occidentale, mais c'est vers ce chant que je reviens lorsque je ressens le besoin de toucher à l'extraordinaire don que nous a fait Dieu en s'incarnant pour nous guider, nous qui sommes si imparfaits et pleins de péchés, nous les enfants qui nous prenons pour des hommes. Suivez son exemple, car c'est là la seule chose valable que nous puissions essayer de faire en ce monde malheureux : essayer de rendre le bien pour le mal, la beauté contre la laideur, la douceur contre la violence.

+Mohammed Alasaad ALL the horrors on this beautiful Planet Earth, now leading us through the open door to World War III, is simply because NOBODY wants Love to unite us. God IS Love; so NOBODY wants Him ~ Therefore this MAGNIFICENT Planet will completely burn in the HATRED of our own making!
