Violin solo of "Agni Parthene"

 

I have been expanding on my creativity with my music, art, and writing. Here, I have included a video where I play the violin for a sweet Greek Orthodox hymn for Virgin Mary.

Agni Parthene" ("O Pure Virgin") is a Greek poetic hymn written by the Greek Orthodox bishop, St. Nectarios of Aegina, in the late 19th century. Many miracles have been attributed to him, particularly healing. This hymn consists of 24 stanzas with a refrain, "Hail, unwedded bride." For more information, visit https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O_Virgi... I used to sing the first parts of this hymn to my son as a lullaby when he was a baby. It is a beautiful poem dedicated to the Virgin Mary, and the melody is soothing. Years later, we visited St. Nectarios's tomb in Aegina, which is an island near mainland Greece. I felt peaceful there.
