I Visited Mount Athos - Home of Monasticism - K J Stavrinides - March 1965

K J Stavrinides

Did monasticism come out of the Bible? Do monks live by the Bible? Here, in a vivid article by a faculty member of Ambassador College at Bricket Wood, is an eyewitness account of a visit to the center of monasticism - Mount Athos! Read this amazing report of the answers given by THEMSELVES! HISTORY, manuscripts and tradition. These are the three main attractions that bring hundreds of visitors to the monk-inhabited peninsula of Mount Athos each year. Visitors from all parts of the earth, scholars interested in the vast libraries and pilgrims who come to admire the "miracle-working" relics of the Greek Church - the icons and the bones of the saints - to see a tradition more than a thousand years old! - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
