Now that is giving witness out loud and in public! Plus it is beautiful to hear.

FYI, it is a common refrain in Eastern Orthodox Easter services... repeated over a hundred times in various forms. People in the middle east would recognize it like we recognize the "Hallelujah chorus" in the west. Its one of those that reaches across faith traditions, most people have heard it.This makes sense because you can see people joining in and singing from around the edges, though not so lustily as the main singers.

Thoroughly enjoyable! Hope you and your family had a great Resurrection Sunday. :)
That was wonderful.
I found myself smiling with pleasure and joy by the end of this. Wonderful. It would be great to have a recording of the song...I wonder if it's liturgical music or what.
I was wondering if it was a commonly known song because it looked to me as if some of the onlookers were singing along. Not as robustly as the main singers, but joining in. As we would if Amazing Grace were sung or something like that.
this was so great! i could watch it again and again.

Thanks Fred ... that makes sense since we saw people around the edges picking up the songs.
Margaret, I have been watching it over and over. Just can't get enough of it.
I sent this on to my family (Lebanese girl here.) Love it. Thank you for posting this, Julie.
