I have taken photos of the participants and services at the recent Clergy Conference in Los Angeles CA and matched them with a setting of “Blazhen Muzh” (Blessed is the Man) from the vespers service by Sergei Rakhmaninov. I find the choice of music for this video to be an imperative call for all of us. “Blessed is the man who walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly” not only applies to us in the laity, it applies to our clergy as well. There are clergy and bishops following this command, and there are others… who are not. The former are good trees bearing sweet and wholesome fruit. The latter are bad trees bearing poisonous fruit that must be cut down and cast into the fire! May the example shown by the clergy in Los Angeles be imitated by ALL our clergy, not just some of them!

Agni Parthene (Αγνή Παρθένε) is a liturgical hymn composed by St. Nectarios of Aegina, drawn from the Theotokarion (Book of Hymns to the Mother of God). Sometimes performed in Orthodox churches at the beginning of Vespers. O Virgin Pure by St. Nectarios Plagal First Tone (Tone 5) Refrain: Rejoice, O Unwedded Bride! O Virgin pure, immaculate/ O Lady Theotokos O Virgin Mother, Queen of all/ and fleece which is all dewy More radiant than the rays of sun/ and higher than the heavens Delight of virgin choruses/ superior to Angels. Much brighter than the firmament/ and purer than the sun’s light More holy than the multitude/ of all the heav’nly armies. Rejoice, O Unwedded Bride! O Ever Virgin Mary/ of all the world, the Lady O bride all pure, immaculate/ O Lady Panagia O Mary bride and Queen of all/ our cause of jubilation Majestic maiden, Queen of all/ O our most holy Mother More hon’rable than Cherubim/ beyond compare more glorious than immaterial Seraphim/ and greater than angelic thrones. Rejoice, O Unwedded Bride! Rejoice, O song of Cherubim/ Rejoice, O hymn of angels Rejoice, O ode of Seraphim/ the joy of the archangels Rejoice, O peace and happiness/ the harbor of salvation O sacred chamber of the Word/ flow’r of incorruption Rejoice, delightful paradise/ of blessed life eternal Rejoice, O wood and tree of life/ the fount of immortality. Rejoice, O Unwedded Bride! I supplicate you, Lady/ now do I call upon you And I beseech you, Queen of all/ I beg of you your favor …

Bulgarian – “Who are we?”, “Where do we come from?”, “What cultural and historical traditions do we have?”. Isihia is the sound tangle of pure folklore motifs of the Bulgarian song and melody, the Hesychast sound of the Christian singing, the mystery of the Balkan spirit and the romance of national drama in Bulgarian history. Isihia is the musical tale of the times of the most genuine belief in the history of the Bulgarian spiritual life — Hesychasm. Isihia is the musical glance back to the history of the Bulgarians. The very end of the 20-th century was a time of severe trial for the Bulgarian people and the Balkan peoples as a whole, whose belonging to the European Christian civilization both in geographical and cultural, as well as in historical aspect is certainly doubtless. Most threatening to the Bulgarian nation today are not the political failures, the economic instability, not even the demographic collapse, but the weakness and impersonality of spirit. In such times, each nation turns to the stronghold of its traditions and history where its hidden strength lies. It is to reach the roots of that strength and to draw invigorating spirit from the shell of the Bulgarian identity that Isihia was born for, Isihia — the bridge from the past to the present. The ancient spirit of the Bulgarian land, whose roots have been marked by the cultures of Thraceans, Romans, Slavs, Proto-Bulgarians, Byzantines and Ottoman Turks — a spirit combining the pagan and Christian …
