Holy Week in Mount Athos by Nikolaos Koufos
Mount Athos. The place chosen by the Virgin Mary for her residence and since then it has been an abaton for the female world. With her blessing, Mount Athos has become a unique centre of Orthodox monasticism and a bastion of our faith. This itinerary, therefore, may become a means of reaching out to the faithful, especially women. It narrates the route, until one reaches Mount Athos, the old buildings, the famous monasteries, the Holy Sketes, the Athonite vigils, the wonderful musical harmony of bells, the overnight services, the cleanliness and order of monks and lay visitors, in general images of monastic splendour from the Byzantine past and especially during Holy Week.
