It is a dream of mine to one day visit the ancient monasteries at Mount Athos in Greece. This evening I have found this beautiful set of photographs taken there. What a place! It is heartening to read that the number of new novices is increasing. Let us hope that monastic life on Mount Athos continues for a very, very long time.

Wonderful. Glory to God for their Monastic struggles. God strengthen the courageous monks of Holy Esphigmenou!
