  The earliest form of temple was a mere hut of plaited wickerwork, serving as a shrine for the symbols of the god; the altar but a mat of reeds. The earliest temples evolve from a wall built round the name-stela, which was afterward roofed in. With the advent of the New Empire the temple-building became of a much more complicated character, though the essential plan from the earliest period to the latest remained practically unchanged. The simplest form was a surrounding wall, the pylon or entrance gateway with flanking towers, before which were generally placed two colossal statues of the king and two obelisks, then the innermost sanctuary, the naos, which held the divine symbols. This was elaborated by various additions, such as three pylons, divided by three avenues of sphinxes, then columned courts, and a hypostyle or columnar hall. In this way many of the Egyptian kings enlarged the buildings of their predecessors.

  Anyone fortunate enough to have actually held a medieval manuscript in his hands must have felt excited at this immediate contact with the past. Both famous and unknown authors wrote philosophical, natural scientific and theological treatises, romances about knights and courtly love; humanists and theologists translated and commented upon the classical literature of antiquity; travellers wrote descriptions of their incredible journeys; and ascetic chroniclers recorded and kept alive the historic events of their times for future generations.

Some highlights of such engagements include performing in Rome (Italy), Chicago, Rochester and Cleveland during the commemoration of the 600th anniversary of Christianity in Lithuania (1987), singing at the McMillan Theatre of the University of Toronto during the Fourth Lithuanian Cultural Congress (June 1988), performing numerous times with the Lithuanian Folk Dance Ensemble "Grandinėlė", and participating in the Seventh Lithuanian Song Festival (Chicago, May 1991.)With the release of this recording, the OLPH choir renders to its listeners a sampling of its Christmas repertoire.
