The
Hymn of Kassiani, also known as the Hymn of the Fallen Woman, is a Penitential
Hymn that is based on the Gospel reading for Holy Wednesday morning (Matthew
26:6-16), which speaks of a sinful woman who anoints Jesus' feet with costly
ointment. This hymn is chanted only once a year and considered a musical
high-point of the Holy Week, at the Matins and Presanctified Liturgy of Holy
Wednesday, in the Plagal Fourth Tone.
Tonight this Hymn was chanted in our Church by the Senior Chanter Mr. Andreas Kazamias, accompanied by the Lambadarios Dr. Panayiotis Procopiou.
