Heaven upon Earth

on BBC Radio 3

In the first of seven programmes, David Melling describes the ceremonies and music of Holy Week as it is celebrated today at the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate in the ancient city of Constantinople. Russian envoys who witnessed the liturgy there 1,000 years ago were unsure whether they were 'in heaven or on earth'.
On Palm Sunday morning crosses of palm are distributed as Christ's entry into Jerusalem is commemorated. Record
