Vigil for the Collection of the Holy Relics of Agios Nektarios in Corfutranslated

The Holy Vigil is held every year in a particularly oppressive atmosphere, with the participation of delegations from the monastic brotherhoods of the island, as well as monks and nuns from other regions. The hymns of the holiday were performed by a dance under the direction of the Musicology professor of the School of Byzantine Music of the Holy Metropolis, "Saint Arsenios", Protopresbyter Nektarios Bokos, flanked by fathers and cantors of the local Church, including the High Priest Commissioner of the city of Corfu, Protopresbyter Nikolaos Monastriotis.

Yes, it's the same dates again this year, 2-3 September. I noticed they mentioned Father Nikolaos Monastiriotis among the chanters too – he always adds such a steady, clear voice to the choir. Hope you make it from Larissa next time, Georgia; the vigil really is worth the trip.

The vigil's always on the same dates, yeah. Nice they named Father Nikolaos Monastiriotis this time; his steady voice really does hold the choir together. I remember how quiet and full the chapel felt last year when I drove over from the city after work.
