Synopsis
This book offers unique access to the mystical world of Mount Athos, a monastic peninsula northeast of Greece. Founded by Saint Athanasius in the 10th century, this cluster of 20 Eastern Orthodox monasteries has flourished for over a millennium and continues to operate independently of the Greek government, making its own laws and electing its own leaders. The author provides a detailed history of the site, drawing on ancient documents and historical accounts to trace its development from an obscure hermitage to a renowned center of religious learning and artistic achievement. Through interviews with the monks and an examination of their daily lives, the author explores the concept of hesychasm, a mystical form of prayer that aims to unite the soul with God. The book also shines a light on the region's natural beauty, describing the lush forests, hidden coves, and spectacular views that make up this extraordinary landscape. Ultimately, this account offers profound insights into the enduring power of faith, the search for spiritual enlightenment, and the importance of preserving ancient traditions in the face of modernity.
