My coworker said it was mostly Greek, with the Arabic at the end. You can tell the difference, because the Arabic sounds similar to the call to prayer at mosques.

It sounds similar to mosque calls because the muslims took their chant style from the Coptic Church when they took over Egypt. It's awesome to hear the Gospels read in that chant.

It was a great series of prayers.

What I saw (I'll watch it all later this evening) was in Greek. The chanting of "Hristos Aneste!" (Christ is Risen!).
It is: "Christ is risen from the dead, trampling down death by death, and on those in the tombs bestowing life"
