Byzantine music is a spiritual and cultural descendant of the Greek world, with a significant heritage from ancient Greek theory. Theorists in Constantinople continued teaching ancient Greek music theory as part of the quadrivium (mathematical sciences) well into the medieval period. Listening to the Byzantine hymns, one feels the Greekness and the continuity through the depths of millennia. The language keeps alive an ancient civilization which is so harmonious and mathematically perfectly structured that it cannot disappear.
Some of these hymns are even 1600 years old and have remained unchanged. The Greek Orthodox Church chants them as it did in the 4th–5th century.
The Akathist Hymn, for example, was chanted for the first time in 626, exactly 1400 years ago, when Constantinople, during the reign of Heraclius, was attacked by the Persians and Avars but saved through the intervention of the Most Holy Theotokos and the city remained safe from the attacks (siege of Constantinople 626). The people and clergy gathered in the church and sang praises to the Theotokos all night during the siege, standing without sitting, beseeching for protection. “Akathist” in Greek literally means “not seated”.

🔸 Today, Hades groans and cries out, “It would have been better for me if I had not received the One born of Mary; for when He came here, He destroyed my power. He shattered the gates of brass; and, as God, He resurrected the souls, which I held captive for ages.” Glory to Your Cross and Your Resurrection, O Lord! 🔸

The miracle of the Resurrection continues: thus the Lord looks upon His faithful people, who receive the Holy Light from the Life-giving Tomb.

The Tomb of Christ is searched then sealed by the Israeli govt. The Greek Patriarch is searched & enters alone. The Holy Fire ignites by itself & for the first few minutes it doesn't burn. This ceremony has been performed continuously since the 8th century

The Greek Evzone never bows his head. The only moment he lowers his head and his weapon is on Good Friday, when the Epitaphios passes in front of him. The Evzone mourns.

When You descended unto death, O Lord who yourself are immortal Life, then did You mortify Hades by the lightning flash of Your Divinity. Also when You raised the dead from the netherworld, all the Powers of the heavens cried out: O Giver of life, Christ our God, glory be to You.
