[Magdalen] Beautiful Epiphany chant

[Joseph Cirou]

You sent the link last year, and I was happy to see it again. As a result of last year's find, I look at both Cologne and Paris Cathedral Liturgies as well as those from the National Cathedral. My German isn't good enough to understand the homily. Christos Razdalyetsia Slavite Jeho--Happy Russian Christmas January 7
