“Der Friedensfurst” (The Prince of Peace)

In this episode, join host Dan as he takes us on an exploration of the song “Der Friedensfurst” (The Prince of Peace). This song was special for Mennonites who survived the violence and turmoil of the Russian Revolution. The Mennonites who emigrated to Canada in the 1920s brought the song with them, prompting some to think the song originated in Europe, but this isn’t the case.
