Greek Orthodox Music

The post on balancing East and West in our Christian devotion was received with much enthusiasm. Here is a beautiful example of chanting by nuns in a Monastery of northern Greek Mainland (Hsuxastirio Timiou Prodromou Akritoxoriou Sidirokastrou Serron). The Hymn is an extract from a book called “Theotokario” and it is dedicated to the Theotokos, Mary. It is usually chanted in Greek monasteries during the afternoon (after Vespers). The pictures of the video come from a different monastery of Northern Greece (Giannitsa/Pella, Iera Moni Agiou Georgiou Anudrou).
