Protestants don't use Alleluia?

I think it's more of an American Protestant pronounciation.... (maybe).

jezic- i didn't mean to imply that they dont use Alleluia. I was just listening to a non-denom. radio station and one of the songs kept repeating Halleluiah and i was just wondering the difference and why that is sometimes used with protestants and never Catholics.

Hallelujah is German. It's how it's written for the German Mass as well.

[Semalsia]

[url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alleluia"]Wikipedia[/url] has an article on this.

Different spelling of the title "Christ" (also originally from hebrew or greece or something) also occurs in different languages. Not to mention most of the names found in the bible.

Thats what I was thinking.

Halleljah (sp?) is a praise to God. Alleluia is probably a more Latin version while the Halleluiah... is closer to the Hebrew. The Eastern Rites may use the Halleluiah, but I'm not sure. I'll have to pay more attention.

God bless,

Alleluia is the Latin. It's also why we say Holy Spirit. And we say Ah-men, not Ay-men, because Ah-men is the Latin pronunciation. Latin still has an influence.

[Q the Ninja]

Unless you're German and your language doesn't derive (at least partly) from Latin.

Man, I've sung that one soo many times...good stuff.

I've never really thought about the difference though, so this is rather interesting. But I agree with keighters...I like both!

Hello pholks!

It was my understanding that Alleluia, and Hallelujia mean two different things, and aren't translations at all...

Doesn't Alleluia mean "He is Risen"? That's what I was told anyway....

I know Halleluja is Hebrew and it means Praise the Lord. A friend of mine taught me another word too:

SHABACH-U-YA! (shout of praise to U Yahweh). Haha, I like that one!!

Shabachuya!!!

Where i live in Canada they it is Alleulia in the mass but outside of the mass Halleluia and Alleluia are used interchangeably.

[Q the Ninja]

In Germany....the Hallelujah replaces Alleluia.

LOL I LOVE YOUR SIGNATURE!!

About the halleluia thing vs. alleluia, the word is even sometimes spelled with a j instead of an i and when you see it with a j, it has an h at the end, as in allelujah or hallelujah. In our parish, some of the music has hallelujah, andalso at the parish that I used to attend.
