    1. It was sent to me by a reader. :) I saw you posted it too an hour or so after I put it up. I really need to put up an HH sidebar image to direct people over to your FB page. On to-do list for next week.

  2. Would someone be able to say which hymns the mother is singing? I don't understand Russian, but they sound familiar.

  3. The first one she sings is "Having beheld the Resurrection of Christ, let us worship the holy Lord Jesus, the only sinless one. We venerate Thy cross, O Christ, and Thy holy Resurrection we praise and glorify. For Thou art our God, and we know none other than Thee. We call on Thy name. O come, all ye faithful, let us venerate Christ's holy Resurrection. For behold, through the cross joy hath come into all the world. Ever blessing the Lord, we praise his Resurrection: for by enduring the cross, he hath slain death by death."

  4. Best part of this: This is Matins, not Divine Liturgy. Based upon the fact that we can see the sun coming in through the window, I can only assume that they started with Little Vespers, moved on to Great Vespers, and decided not to abbreviate the Kathismata, Polyeleios, or Kanon. True All-night Vigil. These kids are hard core! :-)
