Greek Orthodox Church Video

This is a sample of Greek Orthodox Byzantine music chanted by nuns in a Monastery of northern Greek Mainland (Hsuxastirio Timiou Prodromou Akritoxoriou Sidirokastrou Serron). The Hymn is an extract from a book called "Theotokario" and it is dedicated to the Most Holy Mother of God (Theotokos, Virgin Mary). It is usually chanted in Greek monasteries during the afternoon (after Vespers). The pictures of the video come from a different monastery of Northern Greece (Giannitsa/Pella, Iera Moni Agiou Georgiou Anudrou).

7.55 min. | 4.85 user rating		 cdbaby.com Greek Orthodox and Armenian of Jerusalem. "JERUSALEM: Within These Walls." Shown on PBS many times. It is from the late 1980's or so--NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC SOCIETY--available in most American Public Libraries--especially big city libraries, for "borrowing." It will be on VHS, not DVD, I think. How IRONIC that CHRISTOPHER PLUMMER, the star of ARARAT the movie, is the narrator here. In ARARAT he was trying to find out about the ARARAT movie since his son was dating the Turk of the movie, and here, he states, clearly, what occured in the GENOCIDE of the Armenians, Greeks and Assyrian Christians. 25 to 50 million Christians in 1000A.D., reduced to just 5 million by the late 1890's, (but still 2/3 of Constantinople!) became the targets of massacre after massacre. Armenians died, 2 million out of three million, (1893 to 1923) or 1.5 million out of about 2.3 million (1914-1923). Over 5 million Christians were deported, over 3 milion to nearly 4 million died or were converted to ISLAM or simply "disappeared." Later, in the 1980's Turkish demographic distortion experts tried to pass of the "missing people" as Muslims. This video more than adequately illustrates the GENOCIDAL nature of the Armenian, Greek and Assyrian Holocaust. Only 300000 "Ottoman" soldiers officially died in WW1, (look it up!) and most of them were actually unfortunate Armenian males forced to conscript in 1914 -- liquidated by 1915 if they did not die in the front lines!
