- About this chant:
It is a non-liturgical hymn composed in Greek by St. Nectarios of Aegina in the 19th century. St. Nektarios liked to compose hymns in honour of the Mother of God to deepen his personal prayer and relationship with her.
The tradition at the monastery of St. Nektarios, in Aegina, Greece, says that the Lady herself appeared before him and requested that he record on paper a particular hymn the angelic choirs were about to sing. This hymn was the "Agni Parthene". The original script can still be viewed on his prayer table in his bedroom at this monastery.
The original melody to this hymn was composed by an Athonite hymnographer who is said to also have had a vision of the Virgin Mary prior to composing the work. The recording of this melody by the Monks of Simonopetra has contributed significantly to the popularization of the hymn.

Saint Nektarios of Aegina please pray for me, a sinner!
That one lady's voice could wake the dead, glory to God!
It’s absolutely mind blowing and awesome how no matter the language this is chanted or sung in, it sounds exactly the same. Truly beautiful! May God have mercy on us all and save us! Κύριε ελέησον!
I'm from India. This hymn sounds very familiar even though this is the first time I have heard this. Very inspiring and uplifting. The holy musical cadences rest peacefully in our consciousness long after the hymn is over. Please carry on this type of good work for people who don't know Greek.
Words,are not enough, to describe my gratitude to your beautiful chanting.May the Devine be with you Magdalena and the rest of you, George Crete.🇬🇷✝️🇬🇷

Who ever edited this deserves a raise, when it says Ipsilotera Uranon, you can actually see the radiance showing through ...

Most Holy Theotokos Save Us ❤
May God lead all of who hasn't converted to Orthodoxy yet the only one truth faith ❤
It is amazing that it takes two times English characters to express the same idea
Similar amount of syllables though
امين❤
Most Blessed Theotokos! Pray For Us!
I have to hear this Hymn every day it makes my day and lifts my Spirit
It feels like im in heaven
Father togheter me
Father see me
Father hear me
Remember always
Surely this hymn bridges the devisions between our universal church and our Latin brothers and sisters who are not in unity . Please pray that OUR blessed lady restores the church to full unity . As St John Paul said we have to lungs in the east and the west. Please no commentaries just now your head and join me in this prayer blessed be God
Blessed be our lady
Amin ☦️ !
Beautiful and profound.
Very heavenly haunting hymn. Reminds me of Enya vocals styles.
When we get to experience a sliver of the divine. ❤
Beautiful
Many thanks!!!

Sono cattolico e questo canto mi trasporta al cospetto dell’ineffabile bellezza di luce e splendore virginale della Regina dei Cieli.Tutta bella Tutta Pura Tutta santa.
You must all prepare for the arrival of Christ - it is nigh!!!

Youll learn eventually! ❤
So do I !
🥰🤩😇
So beautiful I just wondered about the English translation of 0.25 Panendrose te poke does that really mean Fleece as in sheep fleece and what does this mean please it won t leave my mind forever blessings xx
It may be a reference to Judges 3:36-40 where said fleece placed on the floor is found to be dewy, which was suggested to mean that help will be received for Israel as promised.
Thank you kindly xx@@AuxChristianorum

I am crying tears of joy for I have met Holy Mary Mother of God today. Thank you.
What is this tune? I know this from somewhere, like an old pop song.
The melody was only created 1800s, it has since been used in multiple other hymns. I'm not certain about it being used in pop songs.
The melody was created in the 1990s by a monk of the Athonite Simonopetra monastery, based on the famous Greensleeves which he heard while in Jerusalem, adapted to a Byzantine musical setting.
The Hymn,s lyrics where given to saint Nektarios of Egina island near Athens,it was sung by Angels, at the beginning of last century. Saint Nectarios was a truly Holly man, as you can gather. His Reliks are on the island and is very miraculous, thousands of people have been made well to his Name, by the Devine. I hope you can visit him.❤
@@breburdax4132 I don’t know where you got this from, I hope you look at it further and find its origin. Simonopetra monks have made a recording of it. New technology is spreading it across the globe. Greetings. George Crete.
You're nuts@@breburdax4132
I wonder if there is a version sung with a reconstructed ancient pronunciation, maybe not Classical, but Hellenistic, adequate for the I century.
The pronunciation of the koine Greek is the same as today's Greek, the ancient one was lost long before and it wasn't even the same all over the Greek speaking world.
@@evatselIn some respects, it was like today’s, in other - not. Αι and ει were already read e and i. But υ and οι were starting to converge into ü. Only after around 10c. they also started to become i. In some parts of Greece the ü version or close one by stayed until 19c.

THE GOSPEL OF THE WORD OF ALMIGHTY GOD "the last age in which God saves man from the destruction of this old world"
(In the last days, God become man to do the work He had to do and to perform His ministry of the word. He personally came to work in the midst of the people with goal of making perfect people who had the same attitude. One of the purposes of this incarnation is conquer people, the is to make perfect the people He loves. He wants to see with His own eyes the people He perfects, and He wants to see for Himself how the people He perfects testify for Him. People in this group come from different countries in the world, and come from different nationalities in the world. The purpose of doing so much work is to get this group of people, to get the testimony of this group of the people to Him, and to achieve the glory He can get from them.)
Almighty God said
In the LAST DAYS, GOD became MAN to DO the WORK He HAD to DO and to PERFORM His MINISTRY of the WORD. He PERSONALLY CAME to WORK in the MIDST of PEOPLE with the GOAL of making PERFECT PEOPLE WHO HAD the SAME ATTITUDE. 🙏
From the time of creation until now, He has only performed this kind of work in the LAST DAYS. It was only in the LAST DAYS that GOD BECAME MAN to DO such a great WORK. Although He endured hardships that men would find it hard to bear, and although He was a GREAT GOD who HUMBLED HIMSELF to become a common man, no aspect of His WORK was delayed, and His PLAN was not disrupted. even a little. He does the WORK according to His ORIGINAL PLAN. ☀️
ONE of the PURPOSES of this INCARNATION is to CONQUER PEOPLE, the OTHER is to MAKE PERFECT the PEOPLE He LOVES. He WANTS to SEE with His OWN EYES the PEOPLE He PERFECTS, and He wants to SEE for HIMSELF HOW the PEOPLE He PERFECTS TESTIFY for Him. NOT ONE or TWO PEOPLE are PERFECT. Rather, it is ONE GROUP, COMPRISED of just a FEW PEOPLE. ☀️🙏
PEOPLE in this GROUP COME from DIFFERENT COUNTRIES in the WORLD, and COME from DIFFERENT NATIONALITIES in the WORLD. The PURPOSE of DOING so much WORK is to GET this GROUP of PEOPLE, to GET the TESTIMONY of this GROUP OF PEOPLE to Him, and to ACHIEVE the GLORY He can GET from them. He does no work in vain, nor does He do any work worthless. It can be said that, in doing so many works, GOD'S PURPOSE is to make PERFECT EVERYTHING He WANTS to make PERFECT. In any free time He has outside of it, He will remove those who are evil. ☀️
You must know that He does not do this great work because of the wicked; rather, He gives His all because of the few people He will make perfect. The WORK He DOES, the WORDS He SPEAKS, the MYSTERIES He REVEALS, and His JUDGMENT and PUNISHMENT are ALL for the sane of those FEW PEOPLE. 🙏
He did NOT become a MAN because of those who were BAD, and especially they did NOT provoke Him to anger so much. He tells the TRUTH, and SPEAKS of ENTERING, because of PERFECT WORKS; He became MAN because of them, and because of them He could grant His PROMISES and BLESSINGS. ☀️
The truth, entrance, and life in humanity that He speaks of is not labored for the sake of the wicked. He WANTS to AVOID TALKING to those who are BAD, INSTEAD He WANTS to GRANT all the TRUTH to those who will be made PERFECT.
But His work requires that, for the time being, He allows the WICKED to ENJOY some of His RICHES. Those who do not practice the truth, do not please God, and interfere with His work are all evil. They CANNOT BE MADE PERFECT, and GOD HATES and REJECTS them. 😪
On the other hand, PEOPLE WHO DO the TRUTH and PLEASE GOD and SPEND their WHOLE SELF in GOD'S WORK are the PEOPLE GOD WILL MAKE PERFECT. 🙏
Those whom GOD wants to make PERFECT are none other than this GROUP of PEOPLE, and the WORK GOD DOES is for the BENEFIT of these PEOPLE. The truth He speaks is for those who are WILLING to DO it. He does not speak to people who do not practice the truth. ☀️
The growth of knowledge and the growth of understanding that He says is aimed at those who can practice the truth. When He speaks of those who will be made perfect, He is speaking of these people.
The WORK of the HOLY SPIRIT is FOCUSED on PEOPLE who CAN do the TRUTH. 🙏
Things like having wisdom and being human are dedicated to people who are WILLING to DO the TRUTH. Those who DO NOT PRACTICE the TRUTH may HEAR MANY WORDS of TRUTH, BUT BECAUSE they are by NATURE VERY EVIL and are NOT INTERESTED in the TRUTH, all they understand are doctrines and words and empty theories, which have not the slightest value for upon their entry into life. Not ONE of THEM is FAITHFUL to GOD; they are ALL PEOPLE WHO SEE GOD BUT CANNOT REACH Him, ALL of THEM are CURSED by GOD. 😪🙏

I say from my mouth I stopped believing in God because I am bitter filled with hate after abuse rape death of husband feels like I can’t take it no more I don’t understand how God can love us but watch us suffer but I keep coming back to these hymns but why and sing them too …!?
God doesnt take away our liberty, either for good or bad things.
But He love us, and you, more than you can even start to comprehend.
The evil things happening in the world are not from God but humans and demons, your only place to run is in the arms of God, not away from Him

Agni Parthene was composed in the late 19th century. It’s not Byzantine. Why do you lie?
Byzantine Orthodox is another name for the Eastern Orthodox just as the Latin church is another name for the Romans’ church. As such, Agni Parthene is a product of the Byzantines.
