The Holy Monday recording contains the Bridegroom Service (celebrated on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday of Holy Week)and is accompanied by a full color liner notes booklet over 100 pages, in Greek and English, containing the full hymn text and Byzantine notation. The beginning of a wonderful reference set of Holy Week chant.
Review:
As with all Vatopedi recordings, the quality and clarity of the recording is superb. This recording offers the traditional hymns of Holy Monday, and both a contemporary and ancient setting of Behold the Bridegroom Cometh. The Musical School of the Holy Monastery of Vatopaidi is one of the cradles of Byzantine music. It has endowed the monastery with a history of cantors, a rich library of books and manuscripts, a collection of recordings, and a rich tradition of chant which is continued by the contemporary choir of Vatopedi fathers. This recording of the Bridesgroom Service, sung in the traditional Athonite fashion and recorded live in the monastery is another monument.

Amazing Prophecy of Elder Joseph of Vatopedi monastery in Mount Athos [MIRROR]
This is another video in courtesy of noiazomai.net and the original one can be found here
Elder Joseph speaks of political upheavals and an economic crisis. Before he died several years ago he had a vision that Greece will be impoverished and in hunger. He said that Turkey will take advantage of this weakness and attack Greece but Russia will in return attack Turkey and gain control of Constantinople and the surrounding area. Though Russia will want to keep Constantinople for themselves, they will not be able to and instead will give it over to Greece after two or three months. He mentions that the Americans and Israelis will make their move to attack Russia and push them back. (The Japanese are also mentioned.) Then, he said, a miracle will happen and angel will appear in the heavens and the armies will temporarily lose their minds, turning against each other. According to him a slaughter of three days will result in 700 million deaths. (soldiers, not women and children). This will take place near Constantinople and will leave the Poli in total ruins, but Agia Sophia will be saved. When this happens he had said, another angel will appear after several days to stop this fighting, then all will return to their homeland. Finally he says that when the Church becomes strengthened and is better organized, then the events spoken of by the Apostle John in the Book of Revelation will take place.
Here are some key points: The Third World War will start with the conflict between Turkey and Greece. Jewish masons who are rulers over USA and European Union will force Turkish people into the war against Greece. In spite of Greek tremendous courage and resistance, Turkish attack will be devastating. Lots of Greeks and lots of their Russian and Serbian brothers in Christ who will volunteer to help Greeks will be dead. Turkey will charge deep inside Greece and will concur the most of the Greek territory. At the beginning, NATO and USA will not interfere into this conflict directly, but will give silent support for everything Turks do instead. The time will come that the world will think Greek people will vanish. A moment before it will be almost certain to happen, mighty Russia opens its cards in protection of Greek people and Orthodox Christianity. This takes everyone by surprise. Russian nukes are launched to Turkey. Darkness is covering Balkan peninsula and Near East. The World we know cease to exist again. At this point USA and EU join Turkey (or what's left of it) and declare global war against Russia and Greece. Vatican and the Holy Chair will announce Holy War against schismatic Orthodoxy. The war will be horrible. Burning people will fall from the sky. USA will suffer terrible defeat and will blow up like balloon (for whatever it means). Roman Catholic Church will never be able to return back to the positions it has today. Not even close. Its influence will be next to nothing. Russians will enter Constantinople, establish their own governor, but will give it all to Greeks later on green table. Greeks will hesitate to accept new territories at the start, but will accept them later and will rule over what used to be Turkish capital. Greeks will return to Constantinopolis 600 years after leaving it, as monk said. One third of Turks will lose their lives, one third will accept Orthodox Christianity and one third will move to live in some deserts. Armenia will get its lands back. Kurd people will establish their own country.

The Holy Pascha service is the joyous celebration of the Resurrection, and is accompanied by a full color liner notes booklet over 100 pages, in Greek and English, containing the full hymn text and Byzantine notation.

As with all Vatopedi recordings, the quality and clarity of the recording is superb. This recording offers the traditional hymns of Holy Saturday, and both a contemporary and ancient setting of Behold the Bridegroom Cometh.

This recording of the Holy Pascha Service, sung in the traditional Athonite fashion and recorded live in the monastery captures the Orthodox Easter service in a very traditional form, yet one which conveys the transcendent joy of the Resurrection in a manner which imparts the atmosphere of devotion characteristic of Mt. Athos.

Athos the Holy Mountain (Greece) - CBS Documentary
Orthodox Christian Monasteries in the monastic peninsula of mount Athos (Holy Mountaint)
in Chalkidiki, Nothern Greece.
The Holy Mountain Athos (The Garden of the Mother of God) was created by ancient Byzantine emperors to be the spiritual capital of Orthodox Christianity. Millions of Orthodox Christians believe it is the most sacred place on Earth.
There are 2,000 Anthonite monks living in what is the most unique monastery complex in the world; most pray all day. Some monks even tell that they pray while they sleep -- and they only get about three hours of sleep a night. The monks divide their day into three parts: They spend about eight hours a day in church, and when they're not resting their time is dedicated to the work needed to keep the 20 monasteries running. Mt. Athos is also beautiful and has probably changed less than any other inhabited place on the planet. Some of the monasteries here are perched high on cliffs above the Aegean Sea, with sylvan hills as a backdrop and architecture that could have come out of a medieval fairytale. It was the architecture that first attracted a young boy from Winthrop, Mass.
It was just so impressive and I turned around and I said to him, 'Dad, you know, I don't think I am going to believe that somebody lives in that building until I step on those balconies myself, says Fr. Iakovos, one of three monks originally from the U.S. He came to Mt. Athos 25 years ago and he points out that it's not just the way of life that hasn't changed, neither has the Divine Liturgy that the monks celebrate every day. You have to understand, the words that we are saying in today's liturgy are the same words Christ was saying, are the same words that saints from the first century, the second century, the third century, the fourth century.
Over the last millennium, the 20 monasteries here have been a repository for sacred treasures and religious relics that date back to the days of the Byzantine Empire. Father Matthew, from Fond du Lac, Wis., was given special permission by the abbot of Vatopedi Monastery to show just a few of the almost 4,000 religious icons stored there, the highlight, a restored icon of Christ dating from the 14th century.
These priceless artifacts are kept behind lock and key and are rarely seen by pilgrims or even the monks themselves. The lock system was ancient and extraordinary. It requires four separate keys to unlock the door to the inner sanctum, and normally takes at least two monks to unlock the door, because no one monk is allowed to have all four keys at the same time. It could be described as a medieval version of the nuclear launch control.
The rare treasures on Mt. Athos have attracted many invaders over the centuries. Fr Maximos, a former professor at the Harvard Divinity School who is from Long Island, N.Y., tells that the German forces were about to invade the peninsula. The monks met with German officers who told them the only way to save themselves was to make a direct appeal to Hitler. The monks wrote a letter and asked Hitler to place the Holy Mountain under his personal protection and It seems that Hitler liked the idea and accepted the invitation to become the personal protector of the Holy Mountain.
Hitler's plan was to loot the sacred treasures though, and he sent an advance team of academics to photograph and catalogue almost everything on the Holy Mountain. In the end, not a thing was ever taken -- no one really knows why -- possibly divine intervention.
Most monks today consider the Nazi episode a small blip on the road -- after all, the monks there have been devoting their lives to prayer for 1,000 years. They say they try to get as close to God as humanly possible.

Nativity (1st Hour- Vatopedi) 1/2
[English subtitled text]
Stichera at Royal Hours of the Nativity of Christ from Hymns of the Nativity of Christ by the monastic choir of Vatopedi Monastery on Mt. Athos.
English text (which I hope to put up in annotation form) can be found at:
The Greek can be found in a Word doc. at:
gocanada.org/liturgicaltexts/royalhours.doc
The text is first intoned by a cantor (bit by bit) & then chanted by the choir.
At about 0:11 the text is:
Bethlehem make ready; let the Manger be prepared; let the Cave receive. The truth has come, the shadow has passed away, and God has appeared among men from a Virgin, formed as we are and making divine what He has put on. And so Adam is renewed with Eve as they cry, 'God's good pleasure has appeared on earth to save our race.'
[After the Glory, now & ever] at 6:15 the text is:
Joseph spoke thus to the Virgin, 'Mary, what is this doing that I see in you? I am at a loss and am amazed, and my mind is struck with dismay. Go quickly from me then and secretly. Mary, what is this doing that I see in you? Instead of honour, you have brought me shame; instead of gladness, sorrow; instead of praise, reproof. No longer will I bear men's reproach; for I you took from the Priests in the Temple as one blameless before the Lord; and what is this sight?'

Mount Athos-Holy Monastery Vatopedi
The first fruits of the Lord's Passion - Choir of Vatopaidi
Holy Monday hymns by the Great and Holy Monastery of Vatopadi Mount Athos, Greece - Crete University Press.
The kathisma is sung after the third versicles, twice slowly, in a slow heirmological chant and in the fourth plagal mode. Here the alternations of the endings of the melodies, sometimes sometimes in the tonality (Ni) and sometimes three tones above (Ga) are worth noting.
This CD is accompanied by a booklet with a commentary and the poetry of the hymns, which help the listener to gain a better understanding of the chants sung. Those who are acquainted with the system of Byzantine notation will also be able to follow the musical text. This is a calligraphy of the music of the hymns on the model of the manuscript codices of past centuries, which is of aesthetic interest event to those who do not know the specific script.
The first-fruits of the Lord's Passiopn fill this present day with light.
Come then, all who love to keep the feast, and let us
welcome it with songs. For the Creator draws near to undergo the
Cross. He is questioned, beaten and brought to Pilate for
judgment. A servant strikes Him on the face,
and all this He endures that He may save mankind.
Therefore let us cry aloud to Him:
O Christ, Thou who lovest man, grant remission
of sins to those who venerate in faith Thy Holy Passion.
Fr. Athanasios on Elder Joseph of Vatopedi
Metropolitan Athanasios of Limassol discusses with our group Elder Joseph of Vatopedi. Recorded at Kykkos Monastery (Greek: Ιερά Μονή Κύκκου) in Cyprus during the summer of 2014.
June 9, 2014: Our group of pilgrims met with Metropolitan Athanasios of Limassol (Cyprus). This is the seventh in a series of videos from the hour-long meeting we had with the Metropolitan. Fr. Athanasius is also known as “Fr. Maximos” in the book The Mountain of Silence by Kyriacos Markides. In the book, ‘Fr. Maximos’ shares his great wisdom gained from time spent among elders and monks on Mount Athos and also through prayer and personal experience. For this reason, the book is highly recommended.
Metropolitan Athanasios was born in 1959 in Limassol, Cyprus. He was ordained a deacon in 1976 and then went to the University of Thessaloniki to study theology. After graduation, he went to live at the New Skete on Mount Athos, where he was tonsured a monk. He was elected as a representative of the Holy Community of Mount Athos while he lived at Vatopedi Monastery and between 1991-1992 he held the position of Chief Overseer of Mount Athos.
In 1992, Archbishop Chrysostomos I asked Fr. Athanasios to return to Cyprus. With the blessing of the Monastery of Vatopedi, he returned to Cyprus and joined the brotherhood of the Priests’ Monastery in Paphos. In 1993, Fr. Athanasios was elected abbot of the Holy Monastery of Maheras, and later in the same year he was enthroned by the Archbishop. In February, 1999, after election by the clergy and people, Fr. Athanasios was consecrated and enthroned Bishop of Limassol.
