Cântările funebre în varianta „pe rusie”
Funeral songs in the “pe rusie” version

Summary/Abstract: In the diocese of Maramureş and Sătmar, church chants, although inspired by the Byzantine tradition, passed in the 18th - 19th centuries through the Slavic-Russian chain imposed by the Theological Seminary from Uzhgorod (Hungvar) - today's Ukraine. This was due to the fact that there was no such theological school in the area except in the Roman-Catholic, Hungarian version, and the Mukacevo Diocese was led several times by hierarchs originating from Maramureş, who brought with them several priests and young people willing to prepare for ordination or to serve the Church as choir singers. The situation is also conclusively proven by the chants at the funeral services - burial or parastas, if we accept the fact that a recognized and valuable deacon participated in such services in several villages in a certain geographical area.
