Gregorian chant sounds like an angelic choir, but the Byzantine chant sounds like an angelic army's war cry

Greetings from Orthodox Serbia to all good people, may God protect you and bless you all. Our Greek brothers sing like angels ❤

I’m Ethiopian Coptic Orthodox it’s so powerful to hear this heavenly hymn. እኔ የኢትዮጵያ ኦርቶዶክስ ተዋህዶ አማኝ ነኝ ይህን ሰማያዊ ዝማሬ ስሰማ እጀግ ደስ ነው ያለኝ።

The older gentleman completely understands the power of Byzantine religious music.

This is one of my favourite Orthodox hymns. Here's the English lyrics: O Virgin pure, immaculate, O Lady Theotokos, O rejoice, Bride unwedded! O fleece bedewed with every grace, O Virgin Queen and Mother, O rejoice, Bride unwedded! More radiant than the rays of sun, and higher than the heavens, O rejoice, Bride unwedded! O joy of virgin es, superior to angels, O rejoice, Bride unwedded! O brighter than the firmament, and purer than the sun's light, O rejoice, Bride unwedded! More holy than the multitude of all the heavenly armies, O rejoice, Bride unwedded! O Ever-Virgin Mary, of all the world the Lady, O rejoice, Bride unwedded! O Bride all-pure, immaculate, O Lady Panagia, O rejoice, Bride unwedded! O Mary Bride and Queen of all, the cause of our rejoicing, O rejoice, Bride unwedded! O noble maiden, gracious Queen, supremely holy Mother, O rejoice, Bride unwedded! More honored than the Cherubim, beyond compare more glorious, O rejoice, Bride unwedded! Than the unbodied Seraphim, transcending the angelic Thrones, O rejoice, Bride unwedded! Rejoice, the song of Cherubim, rejoice, the hymn of Angels, O rejoice, Bride unwedded! Rejoice, the ode of Seraphim, the joy of the Archangels, O rejoice, Bride unwedded! Rejoice, O peace and happiness, and haven of salvation, O rejoice, Bride unwedded! O sacred chamber of the Word, the flower of incorruption, O rejoice, Bride unwedded! Rejoice, delightful paradise of blessed life eternal, O rejoice, Bride unwedded! Rejoice, O sacred Queen of life, and fount of immortality, O rejoice, Bride unwedded! I supplicate you, Lady, now, I fervently entreat you, O rejoice, Bride unwedded! O Queen of all, I earnestly implore and seek your favor, O rejoice, Bride unwedded! O gracious maiden, spotless one, O Lady Panagia, O rejoice, Bride unwedded! I call upon you ardently, O holy, hallowed temple, O rejoice, Bride unwedded! O help me and deliver me, protect me from the enemy, O rejoice, Bride unwedded! And make me an inheritor of blessed life eternal. O rejoice, Bride unwedded!

As agnostic, i'm getting goosebumps in my heart. I can only imagine what they feel...or experience. "Your God is good" Edit: I'm in tears

I'm a devout Catholic women whom loves Gregorian Chants but, listening to this Greek Byzantine Orthodox Chant is stunningly BEAUTIFUL.. Thank you for sharing your experience with the world...

This hymn is written by Saint Nektarios of Greece Amen ☦️ 🙏 ❤️

May God bless these humble men, as an Orthodox I feel their sincerity in this video, I greet you all from Albania!

Its a hymn for the vergin merry,the mother of our lord 🙏. Perfect hymns. Hi from Greece 🇬🇷

I am a Greek orthodox and i am so happy that these men are listening to this hymn so carefully and with so much love

4:57 "The World is nothing to the one who understands it" .... truer words couldn't be spoken. I could cry.

Είμαι Έλληνας και νιώθω συγκίνηση για τον θαυμασμό σας σε αυτόν τον θεϊκό ύμνο! Ο θεός να σας έχει καλά!! I am Greek and I feel emotion for your admiration in this divine hymn! God bless you !!

My respect for you from Greece ☦️🇬🇷

The moment when the two older men talked about the younger generations not appreciating this kind of music, while the two younger men were totally absorbed by it.

I love how enthralled they are when the name “Maria” is sung! Yes, the Theotokos! The Mother of God! Thank you for these videos!

Love from a Romanian Orthodox 💖 thank you so much! Byzantine chant is the epitome of both prayer and music itself :)

The men are completely receptive. They teach us how to truly listen to sacred music.

From Thessaloniki HELLAS,GOD bless you your village and country.

I am an Ethiopian Orthodox, i love ur positive vibes. thank u so much for the recognition :)

You are beautiful souls ❤❤❤Thank you as a Greek orthodox Christian. Most respect for all of you . 🎉🎉🎉Love from Greece 🇬🇷 ❤❤❤

THis is part of my heritage, and I am sitting here in equal awe. The Psaltis (person singing) is really good. It is a peaceful hymn praising God and the eternal joy. It is written in Byzantine Greek. Reminds me of going to church as a child, but never heard a hymn this beautifully sung.

Ζήτω η Ελλάδα ! Thanks to all the guys for reacting to this !

As a Catholic Christian i say this is beautiful ☦️✝️📿🌹 God loves all His children

Babu: "and if you go after hearing this, you will feel that today I have seen God." This is what Orthodox is about. God is present in all things.

I need to thank all the team at Novice Squad and Common Man Show. No words can express how much I appreciate these amazing videos. 🙏

As an Orthodox Christian, I am happy to see them react to come of our chants. I prefer ones in Old Slavonic, but this was a beautiful chant.

This video made me cry! I love these gentlemen so much! They are much wiser than the western world! They understand the devotion to God has no boundaries! Thank you!

As a Greek Orthodox I appreciate their comments! Yes since time immemorial you are correct sir.

These people are so beautiful their hearts are so open to god, may the god of all creation reveal himself to them and embrace them

I come here for a regular and much-needed dose of faith in humankind, which these wonderful guys always give me, and that goes far from appearances and material things, but I couldn't fail to notice how beautiful and even chic Sarru's clothes are today. 😍More than one famous Western fashion stylist could draw inspiration from them.

Theotokos, most blessed Virgin pray for us! This tune is called Agni Parthene and It was given by our most blessed Theotokos herself to Saint Nektarios of Aegina. May he also pray to the Lord for us

Imagine if someone translated Agni Parthene into their language and explained to them who our Holy Theotokos is, how she became pregnant through the Holy Spirit and the mystery of how she carried on her womb the creator of the universe. It would be great, even, if someone told them the story of St. Nektarios of Aegina, the man who composed this beloved hymn.

Welcome Akbar! Don't be nervous! You are among friends here! That was a great chant. Loved it!

Newest member fits perfectly in that group. Also it seems to me like he fills the age gap perfect and that makes the conversations even better :D

As a roman catholic this is beautiful. We should learn more of the eastern Orthodox. As I believe we where one at the beginning until the spilt

I ain't spiritual or a believer, but watching my language on the screen felt good :D Cheers from Thessaloniki, Greece!

Thank you for sharing the Greek Orthodox chants with the guys, this has such a powerful resonance and vibration it goes right through the body. So glad they enjoyed this experience! I go to Orthodox Easter with my Greek friend and I find it very powerful and beautiful. ✨ The guys were wondering about the meaning, it is about Our Lady (who is in the icon with baby Jesus.) The Greek words on the screen are what they are singing. Btw this is about veneration, love and honour towards Mary, different from worship.

This makes me very proud to be Eastern Orthodox.

Η Παναγία να βοηθάει όλους τους καλοπροαίρετους ανθρώπους σε όλη τη γη , έτσι με την καρδιακή προσευχή υπάρχει βοήθεια μεγάλη..χαιρε αγνή Παρθένε Θεοτοκε,

This is lovely. I am Greek Orthodox and grew up listening to Byzantine chants my whole life in church. It’s nice to see a different cultural group appreciate the musical prayer as a universal love of God that transcends across the globe. All religious cultures have their way of expressing this through music & prayer. It’s very beautiful.

These men are amazing. True humility and grace to experience other faiths with an open mind and heart.

The Villagers could not contain their excitement for the chant. All were loving the music given to them. The magic of music is the blessing on all of us.

Byzantine chants are always pleasing to the soul.

I like how innocent they are, especially from religious politics and yet how humbly they live.

I don’t understand a word of it, but it is soothing and soulful 🙌🏼

As a Greek Cypriot I’m very fortunate and proud to be a Greek Orthodox. St Pasios once said the fiercest enemy of the devil is no other then humility. Amen

Love Greek Orthodox Byzantine Christian music...it really touches my heart like no other music...very Spiritual it brings me closer to Christ and God ..sounds like heaven!!

Μεγάλη η Χάρης Της! Να μας προστατεύει και να μας ευλογεί!

Amazing that the old man makes a Godly connection no matter the religion " in fact, they all are.

The old guys are talking about the chant being beyond the youngsters understanding. Meanwhile the younger men are quietly lost in the music

"The person who is devoted to God gets lost in God. The world is nothing to the one who understands it." Beautiful words from that wise man

Sounds so beautiful. I am proud to be an Orthodox Christian. ☦️

Personally I'm an atheist person but all these kind of chants are so touching and beautiful. Whether you are a spiritual person or not it's impossible not to have goosebumps while listening to this.

As Babu sang, There is only one keeper of the World. And those who love God hear Him in a prayer said or sang in any language.

The song written by our Sant Nectarios of Egina. God bless you all. Big greetings from Serbia. ☦️

For those that may not be aware this is a relatively new hymn of 19th century composed by Saint Nektarios of Aigina himself.

*AGNI PARTHENE ! Christian Orthodox Chant* , one of the most beautiful chants in orthodoxy world... (here is sang in greek language , but this chant is sang in all orthodox countries in their own language) .... i'm from Romania , in Eastern Europe ,where Orthodoxy has origins - Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Romania, Moldova, Serbia , Greece (here in this language was sang AGNI PARTHENE) ,Bulgaria, Georgia, Armenia are the orthodox countries (christian) Western Europe is catholic (Gregorian chants) and luteran , Eastern Europe is orthodox (Byzantine chants).

Orthodox music is so soothing and beautiful, comes straight from the heart and goes straight to listeners’ hearts. ❤️☦️ Jesus Christ, son of God, have mercy upon us

That was so moving. I know the song, I'm Greek Catholic. I looked at these guys and said these are our brothers. We are all brothers.

yall are so sweet and respectful 🤍

It is really amazing how these people can see the difference between spirituality and religion in a mere second. God bless them!

Greetings from an orthodox Macedonian greek may God forgives us all.. μόνῳ σοφῷ Θεῷ σωτῆρι ἡμῶν, δόξα καὶ μεγαλωσύνη, κράτος καὶ ἐξουσία καὶ νῦν καὶ εἰς πάντας τοὺς αἰῶνας· ἀμήν.✝🇬🇷

I'm really amazed over how much feelings these men are projecting through all the videos. They have such personalities it's a real joy watching them.

I am Albanian With Katholik faith from mother Theresa and Gjergj Gjon Pal Kastrioti Skenderbe ☀️🇦🇱☀️ and i Love this Sound and i Love also to See this people in the Video Loving this Sound !!!! God Bless you all And greetings from Albanian Mountains !!!

As long as you are listening to Christian prayer, you should look up Musical Aramaic rendition of the Our Father that moved the pope in Georgia

love from Russia to all my Orthodox Brothers☦

Babu is so into it, it's incredible.

One of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard, blessings to all

THIS IS FANTASTIC I LOVE THIS CHANNEL WOW THIS TRULY REACHED MY HEART I CRIED

the guy in the right almost converted to orthodox christianity

So much respect to all those ppl who are listening to this wonderful chant and feel peace. Every time I listen to it I'm crying.

Byzantine . . . . most awesome !!!! The words are powerful !!!

Orthodox church: Just keeping the original vibe since 1054 ;) :D

The tune of this chant was given to Saint Nektarios of Aigina island by Virgin Mary Herself. This is heaven melody. Saint Nektarios just created the texts of this chant

The lyricks was given by the Holy Mary Herself to saint Nektarios in Athens, and the melody also by The Holy Mary was given to the monks of holy monastery of Simonos Petras located at the Holy Mounten in Greece!

welcome to the new guy Akbar!!

"The world has stopped, peace is all around" 😭 accurate description of entering Heaven in the presence of the Theotokos. This chant was composed by St. Nectarius of Aegina at the end of the 19th century. Definitely one of the most beautiful Orthodox chants I have ever heard, apart from the Hymn of the Cherubim. I also love the rendition of this chant (Agni Parthene - Oh Pure Virgin) by Divna Ljubojevic. Angelic voice from Serbia!

Agni Parthene (Greek: Ἁγνὴ Παρθένε), rendered "O Pure Virgin", is a Greek hymn composed by St. Nectarios of Aegina in the late 19th century, first published in print in 1905. Although, as one of the men said in the video, it sounds like a very very old hymn, written centuries ago. I remember once, years ago, I was in church, waiting to receive antidoron, and the chanters were saying this hymn. I couldn't hold my tears, I never felt like this in public. It was so emotional. Of course, it became my favourite hymn. And Petros Gaitanos' voice is out of this world. Pure Byzantine!

🇬🇷🇨🇾 I feel blessed as a Greek Cypriot. Δόξα το Θεό ☦️

This is such a powerful video. They always are when they’re about song/prayer/music. It’s peaceful and refreshing for all of us, thank you🧡

Awesome video! Welcome Akbar!

As a Greek and Orthodox - seeing this was so special. Thank you

This Chant written near the times of the fall of Constantinople, so yes the Gregorian Chants are like angelic choir but the Byzantine Chants are an angels army war tear! Long live Byzantine Empire long live Hellas 🇬🇷☦️ BIG RESPECT TO YOU GUYS! 💙

I am honoured to have shared this heavenly music with these good gentlemen, their faith is wonderful, and l love to here Babus understanding of things, 🙏🌹😌
