The Benedictines of Mary share with us a glimpse of their community life for one of their most joyous occasions: Easter. The cheer and delight of the Resurrection of Our Lord is woven in the hymns and polyphonic chants in Easter at Ephesus. This jewel of sacred music provides peace and comfort as the angelic harmonies of Easter transport the listener to the delight of the Resurrection: “For if we believe that Jesus died, and rose again; even so them who have slept through Jesus, will God bring with him.” (1 Thess. 4:14). Get your copy today and recall the liturgical joy awaiting those who hope in the world to come.
Today I have the privilege of being able to offer my visitors here at Shower of Roses a chance to WIN a copy of Easter at Ephesus before you can buy it! The giveaway is only open through Friday and the winner will be announced in this post and contacted by email on Saturday, February 28th.
Please help spread the word about this inspiring new album and enter the giveaway using the Rafflecopter box below:

I'm using Chrome for my browser. I could get Rafflecopter to open on my other laptop but the LCD screen broke on Saturday. So, we had to turn it in for repairs; that'll be 3 weeks. I'm grateful I backed up all my 'business' stuff so I could work from this computer.
Anywhooooo – Here's what I've earned:
FB page for De Montfort Music
Shower of Roses, of course
Visiting the Sisters' website
AND
I shared your post. :o)
Thank you for taking the time to enter these manually.
God reward you, sweet lady.

I enjoy their Advent at Ephesus and Echoes of Ephesus CDs. I like to play them when I take the baby for a walk. It would be a great addition!
2015-02-26 04:04:38
Would love to put it in our Easter basket!
2015-02-26 10:52:34
Ooooh, I'd love to win this! I don't have any of their CDs yet. I might have to get this one for our family Easter basket, if you don't pick my name.
Thanks for the suggestion!
2015-02-26 10:56:21
Their voices are angelic! Thank you for hosting the giveaway.
2015-02-26 11:16:49
This would be sweet
2015-02-26 22:05:11
We have Lent at Ephesus and Saints and Angels at Ephesus. I really enjoy listening to them while driving my kiddos around. I would love to have the Easter CD!
2015-02-26 22:27:46
Oh gosh I would love to win this! Their music is simply amazing! My dear friend's sister is a nun there!
2015-02-27 20:53:31
I just wanted to mention that if you buy directly from the sisters I think they may get more of the proceeds. Also, the last time I ordered one of their CDs from Amazon it was available immediately on Amazon music. I don't keep up with apps and am most definitely not techo-savy but I managed to set up my free Amazon music account and add my music purchases. It is wonderful to play it at the computer (in my kitchen) if my CD is in the car. So I order from both : )
2015-02-27 21:07:04
Great CD. Thank you for the opportunity.
2015-02-28 00:36:12
They have such beautiful voices! I have 2 of their CDs, Advent at Ephesus and their Marian Hymn CD. Thank you for hosting!
2015-02-28 01:13:26
Thanks and God Bless!
