St. Sophia Parish Youth Choir Virtually Sing Nativity Tropar
St. Sophia Orthodox Church Youth Choir “Voices of Faith, Hope and Love” performing a “2020 *Virtual* Nativity Concert”. This project was a blessing which came to fruition through the conglomerate efforts of many. Unable to meet or sing together during the restrictions, we joyfully joined hearts in Spirit and sang from our homes. This is a Nativity the youth will long remember… Not because of the pandemic’s difficult circumstances, but because they were together in harmony even when apart. The separate pieces were recorded individually and combined to form the *virtual* choir. “Christ is Born! Glorify Him! Christ comes from heaven, meet ye Him!” We wish you joy, hope, love, and His Peace from Above.
Icons of 5th Century St. Patrickoften show him holding a three-leafed shamrock growing on a single stem, he used this to illustrate the Holy Trinity – our One God in Three Persons. St. Patrick wrote many hymns. Above is an excerpt from a beautiful, longer hymn. “I bind unto myself today, the Strong Name of the Trinity! By Invocation of the same, the Three in One, and One in Three!”
Truly He is Risen!
Happy St. Nicholas Day! December 19/6. Greetings. Sung by the GG’s
