ST. ROMANOS THE MELODIST: THE KONTAKION OF NATIVITY | Draw the Life of a Saint (Katina Music Video)
ST. ROMANOS THE MELODIST: THE KONTAKION OF NATIVITY | DRAW THE LIFE OF A SAINT ("A MIRACLE OF SONG" KATINA MUSIC VIDEO)
“A Miracle of Song” is an original Orthodox Christian folk song by Presbytera Katina Patitsas (and is on her album, "The Christmas Story"). The song tells the tale of the miraculous way that St. Romanos the Melodist composed the beautiful, ancient Kontakion of Christmas, “Today the Virgin.” We hope you enjoy this musical, Christmas story of St. Romanos the Melodist, the patron saint of music and chanters!
(This video illustrates St. Romanos’ life in a “draw my life” style.)

A MIRACLE OF SONG: KONTAKION OF NATIVITY
Gather ‘round now to hear of a true Christmas story.
And we shall proclaim a miracle of song.
A young poet who found himself restless and worried,
It was Christmas Eve over a thousand years ago.
He was trying to capture the miracle of Christmas
Though his heart sang loudly,
His words could not express….
As he walked to the church,
He knelt humbly before her,
The icon of Mary with her Son and God.
He then asked her to help him with
This sacred writing
To praise God and teach man in
Truth and holiness.
The liturgy started.
The church was filled with people,
And this deacon poet,
Had not a hymn to sing….
He was tired, discouraged, and soon sleep befell him.
He saw there before him the Mother of God.
She was holding a scroll as she said with a soft voice,
“Take this and swallow it.” He did as he was told.
He woke up. It was time to sing the Nativity hymn.
All there were waiting to hear of God's birth….
Now his music would readily flow from his heart,
As we here today now chant this Christmas hymn…
Today the Virgin giveth birth to Him that is transcendent in
Essence, and the earth offereth a cave to Him Who is
Unapproachable. Angels with shepherds give glory with a
Star the Magi do journey; for our sakes a young Child is born,
Who is pre-eternal God.
Ἡ παρθένος σήμερον
τὸν ὑπερούσιον τίκτει,
καὶ ἡ γῆ τὸ σπήλαιον
τῷ ἀπροσίτῳ προσάγει·
ἄγγελοι μετὰ ποιμένων
δοξολογοῦσι,
μάγοι δὲ μετὰ ἀστέρος
ὁδοιποροῦσι·
δι᾿ ἡμᾶς γὰρ ἐγεννήθη
παιδίον νέον,
ὁ πρὸ αἰώνων Θεός.

Christ is risen!
New calendarists does not mean ecumenists. Look to Bartolomew, patriarch if Constantinople, old calendarist, a big, stinking ecumenist, friend of freemasons, and of the majority of the eretics from your western world. Stop saying lies. The calendar is not dogma, even the change was wrong, this does not affect the faith.
“For God is with us…”
Is there a close connection between Ouspensky and the New Age movement, occult etc?
Be Orthodox, whatever.. Just stay in Nigeria.
What's the name of the Katina song at the end of the documentary?
❤
I’m an inquirer coming from an American Protestant background, and I’ve seen many videos making a defense of icons (which I very much needed), but this is the first one I’ve seen that has helped me make sense of the way they look, which I deeply appreciate. Thank you ever so much.
How did you manage to make such a beautiful thumbnail for this video!? It really is striking!
❤ Both heartbreaking and inspirational. Such a moving song!
The intersection of the human and the divine.
☦️☦️☦️🇺🇸🏴🇺🇸
father thank you for fighting in NIGERIA .AMERICANS are the PREFECT ORTHODOX CHRISTIANS
Beutiful people. I am Serbian Orthodox, and recently met an Nigerian woman who visits the pentacosts, i introduced her a bit the Orthodoxy, i hope well, but i see she struggles sometimes trying on her own .. Pray for her. I will not mention her name due to respect here. Thanks, God bless !
Ivan, that's very good news. I'm Ethiopian, born and raised in Europe. Africans, except for those from Ethiopia and Eritrea, often operate in a place of delusion, that is not even Christian anymore. It's just dishonest fake pastors and cult like practices which has nothing do with Christianity. Are you still in touch with her? Could you maybe tell her about how Orthodoxy and Ethiopia were among the first Christian nations in the world? You could also compare the theology to the Pentecostal world she lives in, emphasizing the fullness and deep truth found especially in the Eastern and Oriental Orthodox Churches, which was founded by Yeshua himself. TV pastors, Pentecostals, and charismatic Christianity are hurting the world and Africa. The people in these non-denominational congregations are genuinely searching for the truth but don't find an ounce of it, which is heartbreaking to see. Glory be To God, and must he open the eyes of this Nigerian woman. ☦
Glory to God!☦️

beautiful
Thank you for your documented experiences, God bless you.
As someone who was once vehemently opposed to iconography, the Orthodox church has directed me straight into a gentle blessing that has filled my soul with joy. The icons allow me to partake in the movement of salvation, and to remind me constantly that my name be inscribed in the book of life. The icons, to put it simply, make me realize the glory of God.

Sadly it’s a schismatic sect of eastern “orthodoxy” but it’s better than nothing
Yeah, when I read "Genuine" that kinda disappointed me
No, they're not schismatic. They "walled themselves off," from the heresy of ecumenism. There have been tons of saints throughout the history of the Church who did the same, and weren't in communion with the "official churches". Saints like Saint John of San Francisco, Fr Seraphim Rose, Saint Nicholas Planas, and Saint Justin Popovic were with them, and they haven't changed since then. (Speaking specifically of the "GOC-K" who are featured in this video.)
