O Lord, save Thy people, and bless Thine inheritance. Grant victories to the Orthodox Christians over their adversaries. And by virtue of Thy Cross, preserve Thy habitation.
''Habitation" dwelling, living place, house. Orthodox worship only God. Icons and the cross they venerate, they don't worship icons or the cross. The Greek 'Latreia' to worship, is reserved for God alone. The Greek 'Dulia' to venerate or respect is for Saints, Icons, the Cross, etc.
Gee, this is the Holy Orthodox Church! What you are seeing is the original Christianity!:) This is how prayer was originally said! This is how religious services were conducted. The music itself will carry you, and your soul, away to a heavenly place. All time stops, during Liturgy. It is Heaven on Earth!:)
You bible punchers fail to realize that Icons aid in the instruction of the Faith. When illiteracy was rampant, the Icons told the faithful the Scripture. Study the early Church Fathers.
Tchaikovsky Incorporated this into the beginning of The 1812 Overture
Incredibly wise choice 😃
I thought this was from the 1812 Overture, not the other way around!
and the finale reprise.
A hymn for our times.
That's the version I grew up with in the 60's on.....
One of my absolute favorite Troparia. It goes through my mind every day, at some point.
It is basically the anthem of Orthodox Christians
Holy Orthodox Church 💐🕯️✝️🕯️💐💖🙏
O Loard, save the people 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

What does "preserve thy habitation" mean? Pardon my ignorance.
Asking God/Christ to preserve where his Holy Spirit Dwells. For example his Church, Bodies of Orthodox Christians (Temples of the Holy Spirit).

Do not worship idols. Only worship the Almighty God jehovah.
Orthodox Christians worship the Holy Trinity only. They do not worship idols.
Isn't this truly worshiping God? I believe it is and do.
