An Icon of Sound

Eastern Orthodox worship stands out for its lack of musical instruments, a tradition rooted in both early Christian and ancient Jewish practices. This age-old choice emphasizes the human voice as the purest expression of prayer and praise, distancing worship from secular performance or pagan ritual.

The word “dox” in Orthodox means both “to praise” and “to make known,” reflecting the dual purpose of worship: glorifying God and proclaiming the truths of the Gospel. Singing without instruments thus becomes an offering of both praise and proclamation, intended to create an “icon of sound” as a window into heavenly worship.

In a world full of artificial sounds, Orthodox a cappella singing offers an authentic, angelic quality. Through "psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs" (Ephesians 5:9) the faithful seek to offer pure praise and share God’s freeing truth with all who experience this ancient liturgy.

~Fr. Andrew Jarmus, Dean, St. Mary's Orthodox Cathedral, Minneapolis, MN



    Bear one another's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.  (Galatians 6:2)
