In Orthodox Christianity, chanting holds a profound and ancient role, deeply intertwined with worship, prayer, and communal spirituality. Historically, chanting developed from the early Christian Church, influenced by Jewish liturgical traditions. In the present day, chanting remains an essential aspect of Orthodox worship. It is performed by choirs or individual chanters, often with no instrumental accompaniment, focusing on vocal purity and the beauty of the human voice. Each service, from the Divine Liturgy to Vespers, is accompanied by these ancient melodies, fostering a sense of continuity and unity across centuries and Orthodox communities worldwide. ----------------------------------- If you like our content buy us a coffee so, we can keep making more: https://buymeacoffee.com/theorthodoxsquad Disclaimer: Not all opinions expressed by guests on our channel are necessarily our own.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all! Christ is Born! Give glory! We wish you strength in this nativity fast. Plato, Aristotle, Confucious, the stoics of old, all had one thing in common. They were gentiles. They did not have Christ or any of his revelation...or did they? Join the Orthodox Squad and Seraphim of Orthodox Outcast for an episode discussing Christ as the Way, the Truth, and the Life and how that corresponds to Orthodoxy as Practice (Wisdom / Beauty), Theology (Faith), and Holiness (Morals) and God’s partial revelation to the Far Eastern wisdom religions, Greek philosophy, and Biblical Judaism, which, building on last episode, were all fulfilled in Christ perpetuated in and through the Church.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all! Christ is Born! Give glory! We wish you strength in this nativity fast. The holy land seems to hold a special place to everyone. For centuries, after countless conquests and crusades, Jerusalem has not seen peace. Even today it's no secret that the state of Israel and Palestine have been fighting over that land for the past century, and what we're seeing now is the unfortunate culmination of that conflict. As we pray for a peaceful end to the clash, let's pray that they come together under the only true conclusion that will bring peace to that part of the middle east. The reality is that Israel is not a geographical place, and its people are not tied to land. Israel is the church itself in whom there are neither Jews, Greeks or Palestinians, but one body in Christ. We're back to kick start season 4 by having a sit down to discuss with Fr Joseph Lucas (PhD) on parallels between OT and NT sacrifice, the West's perception of Salvation, and how this ultimately leads to the continuation of Israel through Christ’s church.

Today we sit down and have a chat with the guys from @cloudofwitnessesradio regarding what they do, what their shtick is and how they make bite sized clips featuring voice-acted retellings of the Lives of the Saints. Make sure to give them a sub! Saints are often held in high esteem for their devoutness, miraculous deeds, and steadfast faith. Yet, their lives weren't without flaws or controversial actions. As we examine these saints more closely, we uncover the reasons behind their sainthood, offering a deeper understanding and connection to their journeys. This episode reminds us that even those canonised as saints have walked a path filled with both challenges and triumphs, just like us.

Wasn't St Moses the Black a murderer? Isn't St Nicholas II a bad emperor? This time we're back with Bojan from Bible Illustrated as we discuss the ins and outs of sainthood. In the world of Orthodox Christianity, saints hold a special place, revered for their piety, miracles, and unwavering faith and when we can easily point out actions of those we venerate as saints that don't quite make the cut, it's hard to not feel scandalised. In this thought-provoking video, we delve into the intriguing boundary where saints begin to show out that they were, in fact, human.
