✏ In this touching performance, the young choristers bring to life "Holy Russia," a song by the Archdeacon Roman Tamberg that captures the profound love and reverence for the Motherland. Through their pure and harmonious rendition, experience a journey across the majestic landscapes of Russia and the enduring spirit and divine grace that envelop this land. Join us in celebrating the rich cultural and spiritual tapestry of Russia, as seen through the eyes and voices of her children.

Why do they name Russia ‘holy’?
A church by tranquil waters, standing firm,
Fields, forests, rivers, pure and lowly.
And a hut with two windows, confirming the term.

The sky, by sunset, is cloven in twain,
Over Russia, a silent glory cast,
In its light, the land's beauty vast.
A scarlet stripe, a magnificent stain.

Birds to the heavens in flocks do soar,
The wind stirs the field at dawn's first light,
And the grasses bow, in quiet respite.
Church bells' chorus, a deepening roar.

By the well, a willow silently weeps,
Mourning in whispers, where the shadow creeps.
No other land could my heart command,
Only you, my cherished homeland.

Deep in the forest, a lake lies encased,
In winter's grip, yet beauty embraced.
Mirroring the sky's sunset blaze,
A spectacle that leaves one amazed.

Fog drifts over channels, a ghostly sight,
A smoky veil in the fading light.
And the white church, a beacon of hope,
Bridging heaven and earth, helping us cope.

The path to the graveyard, winding and slow,
Silent are the bells, in the evening's glow.
The departed pray, in their eternal bed,
For the living who lost their paths ahead.

In heavens high, beyond mortal sight,
For Russia, prayers ascend into the night.
Enveloped in a cloud, soft and light,
Russia stands, with her spirit bright.

Rise, oh land of Russia, rise and sing,
Valleys and groves, let your voices ring.
Every grass blade in the field, so bright,
My Holy Motherland, my guiding light.
