==General information==
The '''Херувимскaя пeснь''' ("Heruvimskaya pesñ") - ''Cherubic hymn'' or ''Herouvikon'' (Gr.) - is the hymn sung during the so-called ''Great Entrance'' in orthodox liturgy. It accompanies the procession of the clergy who bring wine and bread in front of the iconostasis. Its first verses are sung to a solemn, slow rhythm. The hymn is then interrupted by a number of prayers (for the faithful, the patriarch etc.), after which the choir responds with 'Amin' and sings the final verse of the hymn in a more lively rhythm, as the clergy re-enters the sanctuary.

Иже Херувимы тайно образующе,
и животворящей Тройцѣ трисвятую пѣснь припѣвающе.
Всякое нынѣ житейское отложимъ попеченіе.
Aминь.
Яко да Царя всѣх подымемъ,
Aнгельскими невидимо дори-носима чинми. Аллилуіa.}}

{{Translation|English|
We, who mystically represent the Cherubim,
And chant the thrice-holy hymn to the Life-giving Trinity,
Let us set aside the cares of life
That we may receive the King of all,
Who comes invisibly escorted by the Divine Hosts. Alleluia.}}

{{Translation|Dutch|
Laat ons, die hier op mystieke de cherubs verzinnebeelden,
en het driemaal heilig zingen tot de levenschenkende Drie-eenheid,

zodat wij de Koning van het al kunnen verwelkomen,
die binnentreedt, op onzichtbare wijze begeleid door de hemelse scharen.

Nous qui dans ce mystère représentons les chérubins
