CD-05 St. Catherine’s Monastery on Mount Sinai

CD-05 Live from the Monastery of St. Catherine on Mount Sinai, the site where the Old Testament was given, comes fragments of the Vigil of the Feast Day of St. Catherine. According to Orthodox tradition, every day of the year is dedicated to the memory of a specific event or saint. Here are the special anthems, prayers and rites according to the Byzantine Typicon, recorded by the monks in Greek and Arabic.

Ten tracks from the Vigil on the Feast Day of St. Catherine were recorded live in December 1995 by the monks of St. Catherine’s Monastery, the monks of Greek Orthodox Jerusalem Patriarch, Metropolitan Damianos and Metropolitan Palladius
