the intercessions and of Saint Sophrony of and oil from Essex's tomb saved my friend from cancer. A very special place to me. Extremely blessed - all the people on Athos spoke about visiting Essex so clearly very famous throughout the Orthodox world.
Their is a small shop which has incense for a few pound, i picked up a very large bag of Rose incense and some charcoal disks. Thanks for the video, i visited recently and found the grounds to have such a peace to it.

Hi Matt. I admire you interest in orthodoxy and east Europe culture.
Could you please share a link to the chant in the beginning of the video.
Greek Byzantine orthodox chant_ Agni Parthene- Αγνή Παρθένε ua-cam.com/video/i-3h9TQ312c/v-deo.html
Thanks for your interest!
If you look up Agni Partheni in English here on UA-cam you'll hear the hymn in English to our Most Holy Mother.
Orthodoxy is not Ancient :) it's very much alive in many countries - we don't thing is Ancient - as we live it Every day :)
