Licht aus dem Osten

Chorkonzert mit Musik der Ostkirche
Mit dem byzantinischen Chor des Seligen Woldymyr Pryjma
5. Dezember 2007, 17:15 Uhr
In der Kirche der Kartause Gaming

"Das Licht aus dem Osten hat die Gesamtkirche erleuchtet, seitdem über uns 'ein aus der Höhe aufstrahlendes Licht' (Lk 1,78), Jesus Christus, unser Herr, erschienen ist, den alle Christen als Erlöser des Menschen und Hoffnung der Welt anrufen." - Papst Johannes Paul II, Orientale Lumen

Above is the Byzantine chapel in which we regularly attend the Divine Liturgy. This evening the Byzantine rite choir offered a concert in the main Kartause chapel as part of the ongoing Adventmarkt taking place in the Kartause courtyard. Below is a picture of our Eastern priests, and some other men, singing liturgical chants.

John-

That chapel is beautiful...when we were there, it was a storage room appended to the laundry room. Is the laundry room still right next to it?

Boniface,
Yup. Same room, beautifully painted and furnished. It is rather annoying to hear the washmachines rumbling in the background.
