HOLY WEEK 2024: HOLY FRIDAY LAMENTATIONS

On this solemn Holy Friday, Archimandrite Nikodimos Kabarnos of the Holy Church of the Ascension of the Lord in the Athens prefecture of Neos Kosmos is giving us a hymn and a lamentation. When he is not engaged in liturgy in his own magnificent church modeled on the Aghia Sophia in Constantinople, Father Nikodimos and his Byzantine choir are performing at concerts around the world in secular settings from Romania and Syria to Cyprus and Los Angeles in the US (YouTube Channel).


April 27, 2024 Kabarnos: Σίμερον Κρεματαίη Έπη Ξυλό. Simeron Krematai Epi Xilo. Today He Is Hanged On Wood. 

This hymn is from a live concert Father Nikodimos gave at the Municipal Theater of Nicosia, Cyprus. It is an improvisation, as only the lyrics exist. 


May 2, 2024 Karbarnos:  Ἡ ζωή ἐν τάφω. I Zoi En Tafo. Life inside the Grave.

Good Friday Lamentation: "Thou who art the life is placed in a tomb". Translation (link).
