Church Musician Sunday - Sun, Oct 1st

Saint George will join the nationwide “Church Musician Sunday”,  recognizing our Choir on Sunday October 1st.  

The Holy Synod of Bishops of the Orthodox Church in America has designated the Sunday on or following the commemoration of Saint Romanus the Melodist (October 1st) as “Church Musician Sunday.”

This yearly designation will take place this year on Sunday, October 1, 2023.

Church Musician Sunday highlights the essential role of liturgical music in Orthodox Christian worship and the important role of church musicians in the life of the Church. 

Parishes are encouraged to recognize those who serve in the various roles involved in Church music: choir directors, singers, chanters, readers, composers, arrangers, and bell-ringers, through a public acknowledgment following the Divine Liturgy.

Below is a photo of St. George's icon on the rear (or north-side) wall of the choir, which is the Icon of the Feast of the Protection of the Most-Holy Theotokos.  The St. George icon shows the Theotokos standing above the faithful with her arms outstretched in prayer, but below the Theotokos, in the center of the icon, stands Saint Romanus the Melodistthe famous hymnographer whose feast is also celebrated on the same day. On the lower left corner of the icon is his choir.
