parastas

In this format it more clearly represents the original concept of parastas, which means literally, "standing throughout (the night)."

Adapted from the Russian Chants "Parastas" liner notes.

Alleluia is also chanted to a special melody at funerals, memorial services (Greek: Parastas, Slavonic: Panikhida), and on Saturdays of the Dead.

Russian Chants "Parastas" is the an album by Russian composer Boris Feoktistov and American composer Bill Laswell.

In 1995, American composer Bill Laswell remixed Feoktistov's Parastas, adding ambient music soundscapes, and released the tracks on Russian Chants "Parastas".

That night a traditional funeral Parastas was held with various dignitaries and international guests as well as an Honor Guard from The Ukrainian American Veterans, the Knights of Columbus, and Ukrainian Scouting Organization, Plast.

Rather, memorial services (Greek: parastas, Russian: panikhida) are served at the grave of the individual, praying for him or her-though an individual may pray privately to someone who has not yet been formally Glorified, and even commission Icons, which may be kept in the home but not displayed in the Temple (church building).
