"Come and let us bless Joseph" - Vespers of Holy Friday at the Monastery of Chevetogne

[MrPAN52]

magnifique interprétation d'un stichere du vendredi saint,dans un des modes de chants"usuels" de l'Eglise Orthodoxe Russe appelé"chant bulgare"(bolgarski rospev).Pour mémoire,le monastere de Chevetogne est un monastere bénédictin,donc catholique,dépendant de Rome.Mais,ayant depuis toujours une vocation oecumenique,il célébre la liturgie de deux manières;soit catholique-romaine,avec chants grégoriens,dans une eglise disons classique; soit byzantine dans une eglise orientale avec chants slavons!

Thank you for answering my question

Wonderful heavenly music. So solemn.

[ellkat58]

What language is this ?

@ellkat58

The language is Church Slavonic, pronounced according to the Russian model.

Merci beaucoup José Ramon Moran for sharing this hidden byzantine place in Europe. I loved your byzantine work in St.Nikolai Bardowick (Germany) every sunday as well. I will sing and pray with you in this beautifull location church soon as possible.

they in fact, are catholic.

i have a cd of them from the 80's and instead of praying for the patriarch, they pray instead for the pope of rome.

Wonderful, wonderful! There is such a wealth of beauty available in the various Catholic rites.

@remline This is not "catholic rite."  It is Orthodox.

This video is of the Byzantine Catholic Rite at the Monastery of Chevetogne. They have both a Latin and a Byzantine (Eastern Catholic) church at the monastery. We may note, however, that many Orthodox churches also use the Byzantine rite.

Very beautiful.

Hearing this is like the annihilation of intense Love! The labour of Faith, the fruit of Hope, and the everlasting splendour of Charity; I wish I could speak more of it, but this post is trite enough in commenting on the ineffable.
