"Praises of Great Saturday" from the Concert "With Glory" | Official Music Video (English subs)

The Pallas Theater in Athens was filled with emotion, devotion and music as the new production of the "Saint Maxim the Greek" Institute, "With Glory", composed by Andreas Katsigiannis with texts by Alexandros Fotinos, was presented with great success on Monday 17th February 2025 to a sold-out audience.
The work, which completes the "Great Hours" trilogy, captivated the audience with its deep emotional power, musically following the course of Christ's last days, his Passion, from drama and sacrifice to Resurrection, light and eternity.

Praises of Holy and Great Saturday
Chanter: Ribale Wehbé with Ison Choir

First Section. Tone 5
O Christ Who are Life
You were laid in the tomb
and the angelic forces were astonished,
glorifying Your condescension

We magnify You,
King Jesus,
and we honor Your burial and passion
through which You saved us from corruption

Second Section. Tone 5
It is truly meet, to magnify You the Giver of life, Who stretched Your hands out on the Cross, and crushed the power of the enemy.

It is truly meet, to magnify You the Creator of all, by Your passion we obtain dispassion, and are delievered from corruption.

All generations offer a hymn to your burial my Christ

O my sweet springtide, my sweetest child, where has Your beauty gone?
