Unfading Rose ~ Three of our girls recorded the CD with three daughters of our dear friends, and their mother, who directs and sings with them. Their parents are extremely blessed with the knowledge of and ability to chant! They are from Greece, and learned Byzantine Music/Chanting in our Homeland... where it originated! Our girls have been learning hymns for many years, and have been blessed to study byzantine music and chanting with various seminarians at Holy Cross... who we are very thankful for!
Thank you especially to Nektarios and Michael Razouk!
Each time many of you would hear the hymns... on our phone msg. or elsewhere... you have all been so encouraging and yearning to learn these beautiful hymns! It has finally happened!! Our two families were so blessed to find one another... to combine the gifts which our children have been blessed with, and God-willing, to bless each one of you in this journey of our precious Orthodox Faith..

This recording represents the end result of an endeavor of love, from our two families, to your family, to make available the most common hymns from our Church year to families in the United States and Greece. As parents we discovered that our children take into their hearts, and learn very quickly, whatever music they hear. Exposing our children to the hymns of the Church is the best way to write these words on the tablets of our children’s hearts and engage our children in a life of prayer. As our children learned the hymns of the church in our home, they felt increasingly at home in the Church. This first CD of Unfading Rose, are the Apolotikia of the Great Feasts in Greek and English!
We're are schedule for a first of the year release and CD's may be purchased through our website. Go to www.unfadingrose.com to make your order... we'll be up and running soon!
Stay tuned to find out more about the CD and about the icon of Panayia, "Unfading Rose" and how this came to be the name for our Byzantine Children's Choir... Joyous feast for the Nativity of our sweetest Jesus... who was born in such a lowly, humble manger. May we always follow His example, and always try to create a place befitting for this lowly, humble King - in the manger of our souls.
Christ is Born! Glorify Him!
