I listen to these hymns now everyday...very moving in sound, but I cant understand the words sorry to say. Brother Paul, did you say you could give the translation to them here? Or is there a site where I can read them perhaps? Thanks again for that one you showed...I shared that with my Wife as well, reading the words along with the Hymn as it placed, so she could know what was being sung.
Also, is the regular services done in Aramaic I wonder and are some of the hymns part of the rugular Liturgy? I am looking for an English audio recording of The Liturgy of the Church of The East in Aramaic, if it exists...if not, maybe I could record a service myself, as I have a very high quality recording device to capture both the visual and audio in HD video and CD quality audio.
I have CD recordings now of The Divine Liturgy of the Greek Orthodox Church (St. John Chystosom's version, In English & Greek) as well as St. Basil (In Greek only so far). Also The Divine Liturgy of the Holy Orthodox Church of Antioch (in English only so far).
This all started for me on Passover this year, when I was invited by a friend to attend St. Peter and Paul's Antiochian Orthodox Church in a city up in the Redwoods near where I live...My 1st Liturgy experiance, after learning about these things over the years. I thought it was fantastic, surprisingly so...
After being a student of Church History for some years now, I believe that The Church of The East, is closer to the form that it was in the late 1st century...when things were pretty much set as to practice and form of the public gathering and service.
Paul, I don't see any Icons on the wall in the pictures, as I did all over the walls in the Antiochian Orthodox Church I attended...is there a reason for this?
