That was beautifully haunting and mystical at the same time.
What is so interesting to me is that they are singing in Aramaic. While Jesus would never recognize the hymns (not to mention Christian rock/pop/rap etc.), and songs which are sung in most modern day churches he would have recognized and understood this song in his own language.
The lower male bass and baritone voices reminded me of some forms of Sufi Dhikr.
I also noticed the Orthodox women were wearing Hijab!
Like that, did you?
