Please note: the Antiochian Archdiocese of North
America and the Orthodox Church in America (OCA) have approved
different sets of hymns and rubrics for St. Raphael. Some of the
hymns even look similar or start with the same text. As a reminder,
both sets of text were composed in English, so they should be
identical, with the possible exception of the OCA text using the
most modern English (You/Your) while the Antiochians continue
to use Elizabethan English (Thee/Thou).
Tropars
- both Antiochian and OCA, this includes an obikhod setting of
the Antiochian tropar and a midi file of the Antiochian Byzantine
chant tropar so that you can hear how it sounds.
