about

The APOPHTHEGMATA series by Aition focuses on the ancient texts of the Apophthegmata Patrum, a collection of sayings and narratives about the Desert Fathers and Mothers, hermit ascetics who settled to live solitary life in the harsh conditions of the Egyptian desert from the 3rd century AD onwards.

Part II of the APOPHTHEGMATA series, Syncletica, is focusing on the Desert Mothers, the three women ascetics mentioned in the Apophthegmata Patrum: Amma Syncletica, Amma Sarah and Amma Theodora. In addition, this release brings into the light some females mentioned in the Apophthegmata texts: Paesia, an orphan who became a hospice to the Desert Fathers, and later became a prostitute; Irene, Abba Spyridon´s daughter; a woman spotted by Abba Poemen in Egypt who was weeping by a tomb; and a monk who after his death was discovered that he was actually a woman.

The album features the members of medieval ensemble Sufira: Aino Peltomaa, Eira Karlson and Susanna Tollet, with special guest Anna-Maaria Oramo.
