A musical offering for Christmast 2014, of "Every Stone Shall Cry", performed by Father Cyprian and Brother Cassian at New Camaldoli Hermitage in Big Sur, California.

Cyprian first wrote this piece in the 1980s and recorded it in 1994 on his album Behind and Before Me, but wanted to do a simpler live version, this time with Brother Cassian. It is a setting of a poem by Richard Wilbur called "Christmas Hymn."
