I suppose he is too humble to announce it here himself, so I did it myself.

Now that I am speaking about him, I would just like to say: Thank you for all of the work you do on this site!! It's much appreciated and very helpful.

Does anyone know who the chanters are in the recording at the beginning of this homily? They sounded very good to me, and I wanted to listen to them more. Thanks

In my minds eye, I envision the monks at Simonpetra monastery, but I am sure I am wrong.

Bingo! We have a winner!
Thanks, Paul. That would be from the feast of St. Silouan the Athonite, track #2. I haven't listened to that in years, and that's probably why I felt good to hear it. You have a good "mind's eye".

No, its that I went there a couple of years back and they really made an impression on me. Was I really right? Especially the lead bass singing monk. He seemed to be the leader of the younger monks.

Thank you for posting it.

You think I made the whole thing up? Of course you were right!

Simonopetra was my first guess too, but I mistakenly checked their Vespers CD to see if it was the same "Kurie Ekekraksa" from the homily, but it wasn't, so I crossed them off my list. Then when you suggested the same guess, I thought to check some of their other CDs, and when I checked St. Silouan I found the match.

What year did you visit the Holy Mountain? Did you get to hear the chanting at Vatopaidi also? They're my favorites.
