Saint Nektarios Monastery

Welcome

Saint Nektarios Monastery was founded and established in January 1999 by the reverend Elder Ephraim with the blessing of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America. The purpose of the Monastery is to provide a spiritual setting wherein worship and doxology of the Holy Trinity can take place ceaselessly by the resident monks; to be a luminous example of virtue and holy conduct for the faithful; and to preserve the sacred traditions of the Orthodox Church and transmit them to the ensuing generations.

Psaltic Art

The Orthodox Church uses hymnology and chanting during its divine services. This practice is rooted in the Holy Scriptures, and modeled after the example of the heavenly angels who ceaselessly offer hymns of praise to God.
The prophet Isaiah, during a vision, saw angels chanting, “Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord of Hosts” (Isaiah 6:3).
