Agni Parthene (Greek with English translation)

Показать описание
The repeated part of the song is "Here Nimfi Animfefte", which means "Rejoice, O Unwedded Bride."

Here is the Agni Parthene, an Eastern Orthodox hymn, sung in Greek. The ones singing it are Polish, which can be heard in the "r" and sometimes "i" pronunciation.

This particular song dates back to the 19th century, by Nectarios of Aegina (venerated as a saint in Eastern Orthodoxy). Despite the division between the Catholic Church and Eastern Orthodoxy at this time, our love for our shared Mother has obviously not faded on either side as it has for the Protestant churches. Pray for Christian unity, I don't doubt it hurts Mary to see the people her son died for being as separate as we are.

This one was a bit difficult for me to make, because I wanted to make sure I was as close to literal meaning of each verse as possible. I did something similar with the German Orthodox hymns, except with those, I atleast speak some German. I don't speak a lick of Greek, however, so this was a bit of a learning experience, and because this isn't modern Greek, I also lacked some translation resources and at times had to default to the already translated versions of this in English.

If you have any suggestions for future videos, please leave them in the comments :)

This hymn was written by Saint Nektarios between 1894 and 1908, while he was the director of Rizarios school, which was a school for future priests. When a student would do something bad, instead of forcing a punishment on the student, he would force a punishment on himself which would usually be not eating anything on the dinner table of the school for 3 days. He considered it to be his fault, because he thought that he didn't teach right the students and that was the reason for their mistakes. That was why the students would try not to do anything wrong, they didn't want to hurt their beloved teacher. Once when the janitor was sick he cleaned the toilets of the school without telling anyone, but he was seen.

I'm a Roman Catholic guy over here in the states listening to this hymn, and just being filled with the need to praise Mary while working my coffee shop job right now. An Absolutely Beautiful Hymn to Mary the Mother of God.

I studied religions for 4 years and found Jesus Christ. As an old Muslim, I say Jesus Christ is the only truth. Jesus Christ was our Lord 🇦🇿✝️☦️☝️

An amazing hymn to Theotokos!

This was written by St. Nektarios!
He was born in Σηλυβρία / Silivría in Eastern Thrace. Today that part of Thrace is occupied by the Turks and they call it Silivri.
He was born as Anastàsios Kefalàs and he was a priest. In Silivria we have a holy icon of Theotokos. One night while St. Nektarios was praying he saw Theotokos Maria in front of him, asking him to write a chant for the angels to sing to her.
Nektarios was notorious for his lyrics and melody skills so he wrote that hymn and he chanted it in front of her icon called Silivrianí.

I'm not orthodox, but catholic, but, instead of the religious gap between catholics, orthodox, and protestants, I only see the Holy Christianity, and it is just beautiful. We are brothers, we are a great family. God bless you all, catholics, orthodox and protestants, amen.

My father was Greek Orthodox and my mother was Irish Catholic.
It's inconceivable to me how this rupture of Christ's Body can continue.

Im from the United States and was raised Catholic. This song is my epiphany to switch to Orthodox and it is the most accurate representation of what it sounds like to transcend this world into the afterlife

As an Ex Muslim who embraced Christ, God and the Mother of Church, I hope I will receive their grace and forgive me for my sins and my family who still stick with Islam as they don't know what they do.
