Christmas may be over in the Western world, but it hasn't started yet in the East, or more precisely, the Eastern Orthodox Church, which celebrates Christmas on January 7th. From a live broadcast from Moscow, we'll hear the remarkable Moscow Patriarchate Choir sing two songs to celebrate a Russian Christmas, "Hymn to the Mother of God," and "Zemlya Russkaya" (ZEM-lee-ah roo-SKEYE-ah—"To the Russian Land").
