.Post in History of the development of Altar Furnishings
I know this is not a music post, but I was not sure where to post it, so I chose here. I am seeking information on the history and development of Orthodox Altar furnshings, specifically the Lanterns and small and large candles carried by acolytes during the Great Entrance. Anyone know of a Liturgical Specialist? Or a source for this information?

.Post in hunting for 8-tones CD
I had an excellent CD I loaned to someone and I can no longer contact that someone. I\'m hoping someone here can give me info so I can order the CD online somewhere. Anyhow, it had 32 tracks, 4 for each tone. The tracks were part of vespers -- \\"Lord, I call to thee\\" and probably parts of Psalm 129/130. The CD included the music, in Byzantine notation, as a PDF. It was in English. Male voices. If I can find the title, publisher, and maybe the CD equivalent of the ISBN, I can hunt online.

.Post in hark the herald angels sing translation to Greek
There is a Greek carol set to the melody of \\"Hark the Herald Angels Sing\\", but the Greek words are not a direct translation of the English words. Is this the carol you\'re looking for? It\'s been many years since I heard the Greek version, but I remember it being perhaps the loveliest of the non-Greek carols adapted to be sung in Greek. Sadly, and strangely, I can only remember the last two lines of it, which translated back into English, say: \\"Joy and light has shone (into the world) (Now that) Christ has been born.
