Some things are worth saying right
http://www.youtube.com/v/YkhrBcB7W0w&rel=1
How long does it take to say fourteen words?
Iubite-voi Domme,virtutea mea. Domnul este intarirea mea si scaparea mea si izbavitorul meu.
This is the Romanian for the opening of Psalm 18, sung just before the Nicene Creed during the Divine Lirturgy:
I love You, Lord, my strength; the Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer.
The video is two minutes long, and not one syllable is rushed over, nor frittered away. Some things are worth saying right.
So much Icons in the video and also each story in the back is impressive~

Yes the icons are beautiful, Julia. The first one shows Christ’s entry into Jerusalem (Mark 11); then one of Mary and Child shown as a fountain of living water; then the body of Christ being taken down from the Cross; then an icon called the Exaltation of the Cross, a festival celebrated on the 14th of September; then an icon of Christ teaching in the temple (e.g. Luke 4:16-30); then the two women finding Christ’s empty tomb (Mark 16:1-8); then there are two icons of Mary, mother of God; then an icon of the Prophet Elijah in the desert (from the OT); then an icon of St. George (the patron saint of England
and other things too); then an icon of the Last Supper (Luke 22:17-20) and another of Jesus washing His disciples feet (John 13:1-20); then a dramatic icon of Judas betraying Jesus with a kiss, and His (Christ’s) arrest; then the Crucifixion. Finally another icon of Mary with Jesus, but in this icon both have crowns because they reign in Heaven now!
Wow, yes, a lot of icons… and so much more to say about them.
