Ancient Coptic Egyptian monastery, dating from the 3rd century AD, during Roman persecution of the Christians. Features a wonderful Coptic chant/prayer, never before caught on tape!

  • I dont care what they try and change the name to, it will always be St Macarius Monastery to me.

  • To Greek "musicologists" = LISTEN to the power of O/AURAL tradition

    Copts HOLD on to their traditional chanting, WHEREVER they may be on the globe, where as we have COMPLETELY devastated ours through "research" and Simokaraïtic EXTRATERRESTRIAL IDIOSYNCRATISM .

    (NB = unfortunately, videos begin appearing with Copt children singing while accompanied by the piano... BEWARE of the loss of tradition!!!)

  • lol dude i hate to dissapoint u but the 'chant' has been on many tapes, it's a pretty common coptic hymn

  • is this Baramous monastery? cause ive been to wadi el natrun and there are about 3 or 4 monasteries there, all beautiful!!

  • i love it.. and i was just in egypt this summer

  • Very nice video, thanks for posting
