catholicflower Posted May 4, 2005 Author Share Posted May 4, 2005 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.

Q the Ninja Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 Hallelujah is German. It's how it's written for the German Mass as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Semalsia Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 [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.

MichaelFilo Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 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, Mikey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
argent_paladin Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Q the Ninja Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 (edited) Unless you're German and your language doesn't derive (at least partly) from Latin. Edited May 4, 2005 by Q the Ninja Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweetpea316 Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 [quote name='Q the Ninja' date='May 3 2005, 08:35 PM'] Hallelujah, hallelujah...hallelujah! hallelujah! Halleeeelujah...For the God omnipotent reignith.... [/quote] 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
