Easter Sunday - Holy Week Chants from the Abbey of Jouques

Christ, the Father's spotless Lamb, redeems his sheep forever, and after a spectacular battle – “mors et vita duello conflixere mirando”, “death and life clashed in an extraordinary duel” – comes the announcement of victory over death, so unbelievable that it raises the question: “Dic nobis Maria, quid vidisti in via”, “tell us, Mary, what did you see along the way?” I saw the sepulcher of the living Christ - “sepulchrum Christi viventis”. “Victimae paschali laudes immolent Christiani”, “Christians, to the Paschal Victim offer sacrifice and praise!”

In these moments of seclusion and self-isolation, the Benedictines of Jouques open the doors of their cloister and invite us to reconnect with our essence, in communion with each other in prayer through the Gregorian Chants.
Gregorian is a monodic sung prayer originating in the 8th century and sung by the Sisters exactly as it has been uninterruptedly for centuries. These chants awaken us to the most intimate, profound parts of our being. We wish for you to find peace, consolation, hope, and a sense of communion even while the current circumstances prevent us from gathering.
