The Semantron (get your mind out the gutter people…)

Nice find today on social media.

This Romanian orthodox monk is incredible. He plays the “Semantron” on a master level. This wooden plank is used since the 6th century to summon the monks from all over the monastery to the church. It has the sound of war drums to remind the monks of the spiritual battle. The monks link it to the cross of Jesus and the tree of the garden of Eden. Learn more about it in this video!
