About the chant:
Theodorakis composed his oratorio “To Axion Esti” as a deliberate replacement of the praise of Mary by a praise of the Greek Motherland, which finds its central expression in a chorus “Naoi sto schema t’ouranou,” depicted as sung by partisan soldiers on a particularly desolate march. The instrumental section of this piece was then used with modern choreography for a dance which celebrated the cycling descent and reascent of Kore/Persephone. (The one goddess is named Kore [maiden] in the upper world and Persephone [bringer of destruction] in the lower world.) In this way the role of the goddess present in the liturgical chant Axion Esti was resored to Theodorakis’ tune by the choreographer. The words of the oratorio did not fit the theme of the dance Kore, and so I have fitted the original words of Axion Esti to the music, while maintaining the rhythm of the proper chant to these words. As a mark of acknowledgment to the spirit and work of Theodorakis, I have suggested a modern Greek pronunciation of these words.

Text in Greek:
Αξιον εστιν ως αληθως μακαριζειν Σε την θεοτοκον,
την αειμακαριστον και παναμωμητον και μητερα του θεου ημον.
Την τιμιωτεραν των Χερουβιμ και ενδοξοτεραν α συγκροτος των Σεραφιμ.
Την αδιαφθορως θεον Λογον τεκοθσαν, την οντως θεοτοκον Σε μεγαλυνομεν.
I am chaldean christian from iraq but i live in istanbul (Constantinople), and every time i visit a greek orthodox church i start crying because they are all empty even in the mass there is just two or three people, because there is just a few greeks left in istanbul, i hope they will become more again 😭😭🙏❤️
Constantinople*
hares Antioch is in Southern Turkey.
made constantinople orthodox again :)
No. There are still very much orthodox people but they live in secular lives. I really sad for them because they don't see how much they have values. By the way I also live in Turkey and I have christian faith. This is self critizing for my community.
There will be soon
"We knew not whether we were on Earth or in Heaven."
☦️
That's the statement that converted Kievan Rus!
@@BecomeAnOrthodoxChristian Yep, and during my first experience in a Russian Church that phrase went through my head as I was crying rivers of tears
Long live the Russian empire
Greetings to all Christian brothers.

Nice! Thanks you my brother, I wish you the best, and a life free of sin and worries, νῦν καὶ ἀεὶ καὶ εἰς τοὺς αιῶνας τῶν αιώνων.

@Steve Kirsch god bless you my orthodox brother...you and your family.... orthodox or not anyway!!!
can anyone of you Greeks write the lyrics in English alphabet letters?
@@orthodoxempire697 If you want a translation into English just turn on captions. If you want the lyrics in Greek transliterated into Latin letters though, here you go:
Greek:
Ἄξιόν ἐστιν ὡς ἀληθῶς,
μακαρίζειν σε τὴν Θεοτόκον,
τὴν ἀειμακάριστον καὶ παναμώμητον
καὶ μητέρα τοῦ Θεοῦ ἡμῶν.
Τὴν τιμιωτέραν τῶν Χερουβεὶμ
καὶ ἐνδοξοτέραν ἀσυγκρίτως τῶν Σεραφείμ,
τὴν ἀδιαφθόρως Θεὸν Λόγον τεκοῦσαν,
τὴν ὄντως Θεοτόκον,
σὲ μεγαλύνομεν.
Greek transliterated:
Axion estin os alithos,
makarizin se tin Theotokon,
tin aimakariston ke panamomiton
ke mitera tou Theou imon.
Tin timioteran ton Cherouvim
ke endoxoteran asigritos ton Serafim,
tin adiafthoros Theon Logon tekousan,
tin ontos Theotokon,
se megalinomen.
(Note: “i” in this transliteration always makes the English “ee” sound as in the word “teeth”, never the short i sound as in “give” or the long i sound as in “alive”, “e” always makes the short e sound as in “egg”, “ch” is pronounced kind of like a throaty h, although not as throaty as the Semitic sound you may have heard in Hebrew or Arabic, and “d” is pronounced as the voiced th sound, as in “the” as opposed to “thing”. Some of the Greek words I chose to not transliterate into the Latin alphabet as they usually are because how I did it best reflects their pronunciation)
How powerful is this Greek
Orthodox chat. In the name of God Jesus Christ blesing al christians in the World.
Amen
Amen frater Dominus vobiscum
This Chant is so beatiful! Loves from Konstantinopolis.

Great Chant For Saint Mary Mother of our Lord Jesus Christ .........from Coptic Orthodox Church ...Egypt
Mother of our Lord and God Jesuschrist!
For the Mother of our God
I love these powerful orthodox chants.Greetings from Rome!
Noi Cristiani Cattolici Romani siamo fratelli con i nostri fratelli Cristiani Ortodossi perché le nostre Chiese sono state fondate ,per ordine del Signore Nostro Gesù , dai due fratelli , Pietro e Andrea, i Pescatori di uomini. Così li chiamò Gesù invitandoli a seguirLo.
Nonostante le tribolazioni in seguito all' infausto scisma si spera che ritornino unite. Anche se il cammino sarà lunghissimo, lunghissimo, lunghissimo... Ed irto di miliardi di spine...ma alla fine ci si dovrà riunire! E ciò dovrà essere di esempio per tutti gli altri Cristiani dispersi in mille rivoli ( vale a dire in tal tante confessioni religiose) per ricostituire la Chiesa Universale fondata da Gesù. A scapito di litigi, rancori, cattiverie reciproche , torti, . Tutti peccati nati dalle passioni umane che devono scomparire. Chiedendosi perdono l'un l' altro. J HAVE A DREAM!

Hosanna! Greeting orthodoxes to our Greek brothers from a Belgian Catholic.
Greetings from Orthodox Cyprus !!!!🇨🇾
Most Holy Theotokos, pray to Christ our God for us! ☦️
Sœurs et frères Chrétiens priés pour la communauté chrétienne de Hankou dans la province de Wuhan. Mis à l'épreuve par le coronavirus, Un jeune chinois de Hankou nous a fait cette demande de prier pour l'église de Hankou. Amen.
Fraternellement Votre en Jésus Christ ✝️
Vraiment, je vous soutiens de mon cœur et je prie pour sa vie. Les pauvres gens de Wuhan, he souhaite que Dieu les aide à leur désespoir. Salutations de Grèce.
Oh mother guide us back to you and your son for we are lost in this world of temporary pleasures. Remind us that this life is not where we should be but next to you and your son in the true paradise.Salve Regina mater deus miserere pro nobis in hoc hora mortis. Amen
@Anthony P Clausen thank you for correcting my latin I'am just starting my lessons for it
whenever i feel sad i enter this channel and listen to those beautiful chants, even if i don't understand greek but i can feel it in my heart please never stop sharing those beautiful chants ❤️🙏✝️
Bare with me here :) but the only Theodorakis I'm familiar with is Mikis Theodorakis, composer of more contemporary songs including the theme for Zorba The Greek and one of my very favorite songs: An Thimithis T' Oniro Mou. I suspect that the Theodorakis who composed the music for this chant is another talented person.
Great music, great words, great meaning and now I'm going to go listen to An Thimithis T' Oniro Mou, thanks for posting!
You're very welcome 🙏 Good health darling !
It is actually the same Theodorakis, he made religious music too. It only goes to show that age is not what makes the church important
i m crying when listen this chant....Holy theotokos forgive all siners..amen!!...Greetings from Orthodox Greece... Congrats for your channel you upload a lot of excellent psalms. . Orthodox and Catholics!!!
Our Theotokos cannot forgive our sins but can intercede for us to Christ to forgive us. Only God forgives us brother.
❤❤❤ love from jordan
يا رب ارحم❤️

Beautiful chant for our mother Mairy
This song is the only one that gives me goosebumps… I feel so proud to be a Christian!
Hello from France Orthodox brothers! 🇬🇪☦️ (but I’m georgian!)
Que coisa mais linda de se ouvir e refletir...!!!
Love the way we are ecumenical here ....Orthodox, Catholic,traditional Protestant...we are all CHRISTIANS.
Nope
I'm not sure whether protestant music is featured, more like the Nicene Creed's direct offspring.
Careful here, ecumenism is devil's trap. There is only one True Church and that is the EasternOrthodox. All other churches are heresies. We are all God's children regardless of religion and should love one another. I suggest you read Klaus Kenneth's books on how he turned to Orthodoxy. Orthodoxy (Ορθοδοξία) meas True Belief in Greek. God bless!
@@lupinthe4th400 I am also Greek, but why do you say only the Greek Orthodox Church. . . all orthodox churches are the same...
@@user-ux6qk7df3f oh, you're right. I meant to say just Orthodox. I will fix it now. Thanks!
Powerful sound and memories of my childhood. Thank you.
i'm a Latin Catholic, and i love this hymn. The only Orthodox hymn that memorized
Greetings from Germany ✝️❤️✝️❤️✝️❤️ God bless you all my beloved brothers and sisters
It is truly meet to bless you, O Theotokos, ever-blessed and most pure, and the Mother of our God. More honorable than the Cherubim, and more glorious beyond compare than the Seraphim, without defilement you gave birth to God the Word. True Theotokos we magnify you!
Divine! From the Orthodox of the Crimea.
🙏🕯️☦️ for stability and safety....
Theotokos pray for us. Thank you uploading. Such a magnificent chant.
I have listened this chant by Divna Ljubojević, this version is amazing, thanks for upload❤☦
I love latin chants. But would like to learn Greek because the byzantine are so powerful too. 😍
MORE glorious Byzantine chants!!!
Semplicemente Bellissimo.🙏
Loves from Стамбул ✝️ 💜
Today I saw a documantary about a very old monastery at Mount Athos. It was spectacular. They are working hard. Restorating old Paintings or imagine the old libraries!
As Heinrich von Plauen, former high master of the teutonic order, I want to visit Mount Athos and bring many Gifts!
May God bless you all!
Ave Maria.
Lyrics:
Axion estin os alithos makarizin se tin theotokon,
tin aimakariston ki panamomiton ki mitera tou theou imon.
Tin timioteran ton heruvim ki endhoxoteran asikritos ton serafim.
Tin adhiafthoros theon logon tekoussan tin ontos theotokon se megalinomen.
Beautiful! Where is the rest?
Amen and Amen. Sacred Chant so uplifting.
The icon is a more modern variation of Panagia Glykophilousa, "Sweet-kissing" or "Loving Kindness" icon which depicts the Virgin Mary caressing her son, so that they appear to be kissing. In the Byzantine representations, the Child caresses her cheek while she appears sad, seemingly contemplating his coming Passion.
Достойно есть яко воистину блажити Тя Богородицу, Присноблаженную и Пренепорочную и Матерь Бога нашего. Честнейшую Херувим и славнейшую без сравнения Серафим, без истления Бога Слова рождшую, сущую Богородицу Тя величаем.
Plus vénérable que les chérubins et incomparablement plus glorieuses que les séraphins , Toi qui sans corruption a enfanté Dieu le Verbe , tu es vraiment Mère de Dieu ,nous te magnifions
God is my strength and hope.
Aksion estin os alitos
makarizin se tin Teotokon
tin aimakariston ke panamomiton
ke Mitera tu Teu imon
Tin Timioteran ton Keruvim
ke endoksoteran
asingkriltos ton Serafim
Tin adialtoros Teon Logon te kusan
tin ontos Teotokon

Beautiful! Where is the rest?

Fellow brothers and sisters in Christ, there is but one God and He is the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit! Do not revere Mary, a woman, or other men. Only God deserve our worship and veneration. Amen

Достойно ест яко воистину блажити Тя, Богородицу,
присноблаженную и пренепорочную и Матер Бога нашего.
Честнейшую Херувим

There are a few mistakes, but well done!
Can you please point them out??
@@AdorationOfTheCross sure!
0:51 should be ημών instead of ημον
1:21 should be Χερουβείμ instead of Χερουβιμ
1:30 should be ασυγκρίτως instead of α συγκροτος and Σεραφείμ instead of Σεραφιμ
2:10 should be τεκούσαν instead of τεκοθσαν
I'm Greek, I've studied and know Ancient and Byzantine Greek and additionally I have been studying Byzantine music for at least 2 years and seen this chant multiple times. I could also transcribe the chant in polytonic (traditional) Greek script, if you want.
@@georgios_5342 thank you, unfortunately I cannot bring this correction into the video, but I'll be publishing a Greek subtitles this evening!
@@AdorationOfTheCross that's alright, I know the video cannot be changed after being uploaded. Still, I think this is some great work you're doing, bringing these beautiful chants to light. Thank you, for your work making this culture shine to the world.
@@AdorationOfTheCross can you make arabic subtitle please ❤️
👌👌👌
God bless every christian spirit ☦🙏🏻. Mary protect us from the bad things when father can't because humans are pigs :/.

Can you upload the chant of the apparition in Fatima?
Brother, where did you find this icon?
Please name the composer of this music and the tone it belongs to...marvelous chanting...the start of the Axion Estin is a revelation to a diakonos on the Holy Mountain ...from an unworthy psalti in Beirut Lebanon..
@hares saade it seems from the writing below the link that it's by a named national composer...
anyway i can find the notes of the chant?
Can someone please write it down in latin alphabet?
A few errors in the Greek translcription. A shame, since so easy to avoid! I cannot use this otherwise beautiful video for my students. Would you like me to help you correct it?
Tone?
لا إله إلا الله
I am asking for Polish text
Zaprawdę godne jest, wielbić Ciebie, Bogarodzico, zawsze błogosławioną i nieskalaną i matkę Boga naszego. Czcigodniejszą od Cherubinów i bez porównania chwalebniejszą od Serafinów, któraś bez zmiany zrodziła Boga Słowo, Ciebie, prawdziwą Bogurodzicę, wysławiamy.
There's none ortodox church in my city :(
