This choir grew out of an amateur choir of the sisters of mercy who visited the patients of the National Psychiatric Hospital in Novinki. When St Elisabeth Convent was officially established in 1999, many of the choir members became nuns. That was how the monastic choir formed in the Convent. Currently, there are as many as 20-25 members of this choir, who sing during feasts. The Choir usually uses Znamenny and Byzantine chants, Valamo chant, and adds Byzantine and Greek chants on feasts, alongside Old Bulgarian, Macedonian, and Georgian chants. The Lenten Troparia: Rejoice, O Virgin Theotokos, Mary full of grace: the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women and blessed is the Fruit of thy womb; // for thou hast borne the Savior of our souls. Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, O Baptiser of Christ, remember us all, that we may be delivered from our iniquities;// for to thee is given grace to intercede for us! Now and ever, and unto ages of ages. Amen. Intercede for us, O holy Apostles and all the saints, that we may be delivered from perils and sorrows;// for we have acquired you as fervent intercessors before the Savior! Beneath thy compassion we take refuge, O Theotokos. Do not despise our supplications in adversity,// but deliver us from perils, O only pure and only blessed one! 🙏 Send your prayer request to the sisters of St Elisabeth Convent here: ✍ Our website: ⚡ Follow us on social media: Facebook: Instagram: Twitter: LinkedIN:
