Heaven touching Earth


Tomorrow is Christmas according to Eastern Christianity and tonight we gather with our families for a meal that doesn’t contain meat. It’s a good time to slow down our busy and stressful lives in a warm atmosphere. While I was seating with my mom and grandmother and laughing at some points of our lives I was watching TV and there were some Macedonian ethno songs about coming of Christ to our world and was thinking how much we miss this kind of worship in our churches, something that is so close to my people. We were talking many times with my friend Alek about how we are touched in our soul whenever we are on a wedding party and we listen to our ethno music, it make your blood boil and you can’t just sit and watch, you must dance with all of your might and shout loud noises.
Right now there is a liturgy going on in some Russian Orthodox church, on which 11 centuries ago when King Nikolai visited the biggest church in that time in Constantinople and was attending a liturgy, said” It is like heaven touching earth” Even though I don’t agree with some of the doctrines of the eastern Christianity I cannot say that I’m not attracted by those glorious sounds that have this eternal flavor. My dream is that one day there will be an real revival in Macedonia, and that thousands will gather in a church built in a stile of Star Wars architecture, tall pillars inside, painted by the Holy Spirit inspired artists, and with the worship music that is a mix of new and old, creating a eternal dimension, choirs singing with angelic voices and techno beats going on with lasers going on, combined with the Glorious presence of God. What else can man do but crying out loud” Take me to your Glory, aaaaaaaaaahhhhhh”
