A Carthusian Video


I know nothing about this French monastic community, they are obviously following a Carthusian way of life, but they appear to be mixed monks and nuns, there also seems to be a heavy Orthodox influence. Some of the architecture is also interesting, a ciborium (canopy) over the altar in the manner of some of the ancient Roman churches. I would be grateful if someone who can give me more information. Enjoy the solemn Salve Regina, I think it is a Carthusian variant.

This is the UTube tag. "Monastic Community of Bethlehem, the Assumption of the Virgin Mary,and St Bruno."living the hidden life of Desert fathers and mothers...2 distinct Communities of Catholic Monks and Nuns, belonging to the same Monastic Family. Founded 1950, worldwide based in France

I found this on Orthofully Catholic a blog written by anonymous seminarians somewhere in England. I have added them to our "Interesting Blogs" section. They are well worth checking out.
