🔸 Synaxis of All Saints of Mount Athos ⛰️ 🔸

Today, the Sunday following the feast of All Saints, we commemorate the Synaxis of All the Saints and Fathers who have shone forth on Mount Athos. The autonomous region of Mount Athos, located in Northern Greece on the easternmost leg of the Chalkidiki peninsula, has served for over a millenia as the spiritual heart of Orthodox monasticism. Its population of around 2000 monks reside in the 20 monasteries and their dependencies.

While the majority of these are Greek, there are also Serbian, Russian, Bulgarian and Romanian monasteries, sketes and hermitages. Mount Athos as a monastic centre was formally founded in 963 when Saint Athanasius the Athonite (depicted in the centre of the icon) established the monastery of Great Lavra which is still the largest monastery on the peninsula to this day. According to tradition, in the first century, while the Mother of God was travelling with Saint John the Theologian to visit Lazarus in Cyprus, a fierce storm broke out, and the ship was blown off course.

Forced to anchor at the shores of Athos, the Theotokos was overwhelmed by the mountain’s wild natural beauty that she asked her Son to grant it as her garden. A voice was then heard saying: “Let this place be your inheritance and your garden, a paradise and a haven of salvation for those seeking to be saved.” For this reason, Mount Athos is also known as the “Garden of the Theotokos”. So as to fully consecrate the peninsula to the All-Holy Mother of God, women have been barred from setting foot on Mount Athos for over 1000 years.

The monks are therefore better able to avoid the worldly passions which may otherwise distract them from their pursuit of God through celibacy, chastity, asceticism and uninterrupted prayer. Mount Athos remains to this day a sacred battleground of spiritual warfare. It is an arena of hesychasm, where the monks struggle daily against passions, temptations, and demonic influences in order to attain purity of heart, humility, and union with God. Victory is not measured here in earthly terms, but in the acquisition of the Holy Spirit and transformation into the likeness of Christ.

Pourquoi les églises et les temples religieux sont-ils de plus en plus fréquemment la cible de pyromanes...?

Israel has destroyed the historic Beaufort Castle.

Fulk, the King of Jerusalem, built it for the crusaders.

Israel is an enemy to Christianity.
