Decani Monastery video

I found this video on YouTube that shows one of the most beautiful monasteries in the world, located in Kosovo, Serbia. The video is subtitled in English. Enjoy!

Random music vignette

I've noticed my tastes in music don't always jibe with my spiritual predilections. Recently, I had Tori Amos's CD, Little Earthquakes, in my CD player... that is, until I noticed how screamingly inappropriate the song, "Crucify," is for Great Lent. Tori Amos is a great musician, bless her heart, but her view of Christianity is a sad one. Sigh.

I've already listened to Boston Byzantine Choir's Thy Passion and someone else's (I don't remember who, but I ordered it from P.S.A.L.M.) With the Voice of the Archangel to the point where I'm getting sick of both, so if anyone has any better ideas for more Lent-friendly music, I'd love to hear them.
