Many many thanks to all those who contributed to match a generous $3000 donation from an anonymous donor. The goal was attained this past weekend. It is because of people like you that the Mystagogy Resource Center can continue to offer unique material to all for free on a daily basis that I hope people find beneficial. For those who still wish to contribute, please do so, with much gratitude in return. God bless you all!

Hilarion Alfeyev's Christmas Oratorio 24: Rachel's Lament (video)



The prophecy of Jeremiah fulfilled following the slaughter of the infants of Bethlehem, as recorded in the Gospel of Matthew: "A voice was heard in Ramah, weeping and loud lamentation, Rachel weeping for her children; she refused to be comforted, because they are no more". Sung here by Khibla Gerzvama.
