It is the day of the Resurrection - Paschal Stichera

The Evlogetaria of the Resurrection (“Blessed are Thou, O Lord, teach me Thy statutes”) are a series of hymns sung during Matins after the reading of the Psalter, celebrating Christ’s Resurrection and the hope it brings to all believers. These ancient troparia are central to the Orthodox liturgical tradition, offering praise and reflection on the mystery of salvation. This hymn was chanted in Plagal First Mode (5th Tone) by the women's choir of Saint Seraphim of Sarov Orthodox Church, located just north of Richmond, in Glen Allen, VA.

Evlogetaria of the Resurrection - Holy Saturday

The Curse Shall Return Tenfold is a dark, cinematic Southern Gothic ballad fused with the gravity of Orthodox Christian chant.
It is a song of accusation and judgment — a declaration against betrayal, cruelty, and the joy of causing pain.
The verses speak of a mask that slips, a heart that turns to poison, and a lust for destruction. The hook delivers the verdict like a hammer:
"The curse shall return tenfold — the pit you dug is your grave."

With swampy, stomping rhythm, bowed bass, tolling church bells, and the echo of a male choir answering the condemnation, this track feels like a hellfire sermon delivered from the altar of judgment. It is both a warning and a curse — a song that calls down justice and leaves no room for mercy.
