Vechnaya Pamyat (Eternal Memory). traditional Russian

Filed under: Christian, Orthodox, Russian, choral, church chant, historical, military, religious, vocal — 01varvara @ 1330

 

This is the last hymn of the Pannykhida (Memorial Service for the Reposed). It has only two words, Vechnaya Pamyat (”Eternal Memory”). An Orthodox choir from Moscow under the direction of Viktor Popov sings it in the traditional Russian setting. It can make the stones weep.

It is presented against a background of Russian memorials. I dedicate this to all fallen Orthodox warriors. May the Lord grant them eternal repose. We thank and honour them.
