Russian Monastic Vespers - Catholic Chants

[Archzenom]

Beautiful! Very beautiful and it soothes the soul and calms the waves whenever I hear songs like this.

Dominus vobiscum!

This is from the Psalms: Hearken on me O LORD...in Old Slavonik.

The Orthodox Vesper Service starts with the Blessing, Litany and Psalms....

These vespers are being sung by the Benedictine Monks of the Oriental Rite at the Monastery of Chevetogne in Belgium. (Roman Catholic). I visited this monasterey some years ago. It is not very far from where I live. Approx. 70 Kms south of Brussels.

@livesteam Yes thank you for recalling the name of the monastery. If only I knew what song was being chanted to include the lyrics in the drop down information. Do you know? It is Church Slavonic language I think.
