[@enassif811]

Rejoice, rejoice, O Bethany! On this day God came to thee, And in Him the dead are made alive, As it is right for He is the Life. When Martha went to receive Him, Grieving loudly with bitter tears, She poured out the sorrow of her heart to Him With great sadness, wailing her lament. She at once cried out unto Him: "My most compassionate Lord, my Lord, At the great loss of my brother Lazarus My heart is broken, help me." Jesus said to her, "Cease your weeping, Cease your grieving and sad lament; For your brother, My most beloved friend, Lazarus, Very soon will live again." Then He, the faithful Redeemer, Made His way unto the tomb, Where he cried unto him who was buried four days, Calling him forth, saying "Lazarus, arise." Come with haste, ye two sisters, And behold a wondrous thing, For your brother from the tomb has returned to life. To the beloved Redeemer now give thanks. To Thee, O Lord of creation, We kneel down in reverence profound, For all we who are dead in sin, In Thee, O Jesus, are made alive.

The Saturday before Palm Sunday is known as Lazarus Saturday. When Jesus traveled to Bethany to raise his friend from the dead. Lazarus had 2 sisters, Mary and Martha. This chant tells the story. The Orthodox church is beautiful and mystical. You will experience a fullness of faith and peace that you will not find anywhere else. I converted to Orthodoxy 35 years ago, and have never looked back. Find an Orthodox church in your area and see for yourself.

[@johndoe-hz5ev]

You could always take a look at the Orthodox Church in America. While it may fall under the category of "through a Russian Lens" (as it grew out of the Russian Church) it is an explicitly pan-ethnic Church, offering services exclusively in English and connecting itself to the Russian Missionaries in 18th century Alaska. Though there are some disputes about its autocephaly, it is nevertheless considered fully Orthodox and in communion with all other Orthodox Churches.

[@arayanbulur585]

There is one faith, one hope, and one baptism One God and Father of all There is one church, one body, one life in the Spirit Now given so freely to all And He gave to Simon Peter And to all the twelve The keys of the Kingdom So darkness shall never prevail But some of the shepherds Have pastured themselves on their sheep So He has come out against them And scattered His people of faith

That is really the sad thing about your religion... you focus on the life AFTER this life... the only one you are guaranteed.

Pray God, you've come to the understanding that both the Roman and Eastern Churches are part and parcel, whole and entire, of the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church, outside of which there is neither salvation nor the remission of sins (Holy Gospel of St. John 4:22).

[@michaelleggett3980]

THAT ThatI I know well

[@pupak7433]

Eastern Catholic Church came to be after massive war crimes against the Orthodox Church in 12/13th centuries, as Rome's attempt to replace the Orthodox Church. Monks were killed, People were killed, Orthodox patriarchs of Constantinople, Antioch , Jerusalem and Cypress were killed and driven away from their sees. Muslims were actually the liberators after the crusaders. We Orthodox don't like even to hear anything about Eastern Catholic (Byzantine Rite Catholic Church) ! Just to let you know, don't even mention damned imitators in front of the Orthodox Christians. In 1204 Crusaders sacked Constantinople, killed the Patriarch and enthroned the local prostitute at his place in attempt to humiliate the Orthodox Church, one of examples how Byzantine Rite Catholic Church or Eastern Catholic Church came to be.

I read the bible and the holy spirit is with me in born a again all those that love Jesus must follow Jesus that what Christianity is suppose to be about. Now a days this is what you have worldly Christians. They are not. Christians pls read your bible for the sake of your soul for truth and knowledge. Just be cause you say your a Christian or someone says their a Christian doesnt they are. Here a scripture for the end times Matthew 7:22 ► Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?'

Matthew 6:7 is the seventh verse of the sixth chapter of the Gospel of Matthew in the New Testament and is part of the Sermon on the Mount. This verse continues the discussion on the proper procedure for praying. In the King James Version of the Bible the text reads: But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. He gives the example of what is now called the Lord's prayer, but he abjures you from reciting repetitive prayer.. he wants heartfelt prayer...not rote repetition...

[@firasb-ck1dj]

@@alahatzaifat1872 In the eastern scales system, each scale is consisted of two parts , the root and branch (that's what we call it in Arabic) and the name of the scale is named according to the name of the root (the last note of the musical piece must be first note of the root and we call it the base note). for example if your base note in this hymn is G then its root is : G A(b) B C (we call it Hijaz scale) its branch is : C D E(b) F (we call it Minor scale or Nahawand scale) and that's why you felt the presence of the minor scale because the minor scale is the secondary part of the whole scale. but since its root is Hijaz then, the whole scale is Hijaz

When was “Rejoice oh Bethany” first sung is it ancient? I love that song its very eery and beautiful.

[@Orthodoge]

Henry Holly it was written in the late 1800s by Metropolitan Athanasius Atallah of Homs Syria. Arabic Christians love this hymn(it is originally sung in Arabic)

[@central_scrutinizr]

I think you can search Ifrahi ya Bayt Aniya to find the Arabic version. Fairuz sings a beautiful one

[@GhadeerRadhi]

The Arabic version is fantastic too!

I might not agree with the Doctrine but the music is AMAZING!!!!

[@Orthodoge]

What’s not to agree with? It’s the “doctrine” of the apostles
