One hundred Orthodox cantors from around Romania united their voices in supplication to the Panaghia, the Blessed Virgin Mary, for deliverance from the pandemic.
The supplication, conducted via the Internet, was an initiative by Arch-Deacon Michail Buka.
The ancient and sublime hymn “Ti Ipermaho”, or “Champion”, was chanted in its entirety during the 5th Friday of Lent for the Service of the Salutations.
