Turkish Christmas Hymns from EWTN Theotokos: A New YouTube Playlist

Written by Michael van der Galien

As EWTN Theotokos, we have begun creating a special YouTube playlist dedicated to Turkish-language Christmas hymns, offering spiritual accompaniment to the faithful during the season of preparation for Christmas. This initiative is an ongoing project, aimed at preserving and sharing the Christian hymn tradition in the Turkish language and passing it on to future generations.

At present, the playlist already includes three Turkish Christmas hymns:

1. İnsanların Günahlarını Kaldıran

2. Ya Rab, Bize

3. Kutsal, Kutsal, Kutsal

Each of these hymns seeks to express, in Turkish, the mystery at the heart of Christmas, the joy of the birth of Christ, and the prayerful heritage of the Church. They have been prepared for moments of prayer and reflection and can be used in personal devotion, within families, or together with parish communities.

This playlist is not a finished project. On the contrary, it will continue to grow and be enriched as additional Turkish-language hymns are added over time. Our goal is to build a lasting and meaningful archive of Turkish Christmas hymns that can serve Turkish-speaking faithful throughout the Christmas season and beyond.

At EWTN Theotokos, we believe that hymns are not merely music, but a living expression of faith and a powerful means of shared prayer and ecclesial unity. For this reason, we will continue this project with great care, fidelity, and a sense of spiritual responsibility.

We warmly invite everyone to visit our YouTube channel, follow the Turkish Christmas Hymns playlist, and join us on this spiritual journey.

We will continue to keep you informed as new hymns are added.
