I had every intention of posting some new pics (after uploading of course) but I can't find my adapter, sooooooooooooo that won't be happening at the moment right now. BUT, I will put this BEAUTIFUL hymn from Holy Week on here, sung by the amazing Fairuz (I really really want to learn this version of the hymn, most likely not in arabic, but you never know....)

(I would have embedded it, but it was too pig an image, and I didn't feel much like messing around with the size)

(In english)
Antiphon (XV) - Doxastikon of the Hours (Tone 6)
Today He who hung the earth upon the waters is hung on the tree.
The King of the Angels is decked with a crown of thorns.
He who wraps the heavens in clouds is wrapped in the purple of mockery.
He who freed Adam in the Jordan is slapped on the face.
The Bridegroom of the Church is affixed to the cross with nails.
The Son of the virgin is pierced by a spear.
We worship Thy passion, O Christ.
We worship Thy passion, O Christ.
We worship Thy passion, O Christ.
Show us also Thy glorious resurrection.
