Traveling in the millennial Athonite state of Mount Athos. A trip unique in time and space, a spiritual journey to the history of Orthodox monasticism. Where space and time gain another dimension and perspective. Where the relationship with the earth, the ephemeral, the perishable is completely conventional, without substance.
Special thanks to:
1) The hagiographer Elder Loukas from the Xenophontos Monastery, who accepted to talk about his work on the hagiography of St. John the Baptist, Nicholas in New York, for his collaboration with the architect Kalatrava and the Byzantine hagiography in general.
2) The Monasteries of the Great Lavra, Koutloumousiou, Agios Pavlos, St. Panteleimon, Xenophontos and the Skete of Saint Anne.
I'm Serbian Orthodox, I hope to go to Mount Athos one day.
I’m a Romanian orthodox myself. Beautiful view and holy places...thank you for showing to rest of the world
You're welcome. You should visit yourself!
Chiar frumos!
Such a Blessing as a Fellow Orthodox Christian I'd love nothing more than to visit the Holy Mountain may our Lord and Theotokos bless and keep you both.
I hope to go to Agion Oros at least once in my life! It would be an absolute blessing...
God bless! ☦
You guys are great, thank you.
I don't want this holy place of Orthodoxy to become a circus attraction for curious tourists from around the world, instagram photo morons and millennial atheist liberals(because it's cool and "authentic"). It's a pilgrimage to a holy place, not a sightseeing tour.
If you go there just to admire the monasteries and icons, you are missing the point.
Only 100 persons per day are allowed, 90 Greeks and 10 from other countries. You need a visa to go.
All expenses are paid for a three-day visit, Females / Woman are not allowed to visit (Not even female animals like cats and dogs).
@@JimmyTheGreek2000 so how are there any animals there if no females are allowed? Do they import them now and then? :P
exactly thank you
I totally agree with you.
It's good for people to come, they might convert
I was there in September 2017 as well.. It was my 3rd time there, but hopefully not my last time. It's such a beautiful and serene place. I'm not religious or spiritual, but I am in awe of this place.
Any advice on the application process? How far in advance? I want to go in August ... only time I can travel unfortunately.
@@factualactual Well, start by contacting the office in Thessaloniki and then, when you have the permit, you contact the moneststies. Some of them might be hard to reach, especialæy if you don't speak greek. I found that Simonos Petras is one to be experienced and they tend to respond.. Let me know if you need anything else.
@@benjaminmarker Thanks. I've dreamed of going for ... 30 years!! Since university! Do you really have to reserve the permit a year out? My August travel plans may not happen this year! :)
@@factualactualhey there, I will be visiting Mount Athos next weekend & I made my „reservation“ just today. It was approved.
I recommend to just call the pilgrims office and ask them for support/ give them all information they need.
Beautiful, both physically and spiritually.
As an Episcopalian/Anglican, God Bless the Orthodox! May the Theotokos intercede on your behalf and keep you in good health.
Christian Guild thank you very much! Wish you all the best!
What does that name even mean just come back home to orthodoxy
OrthodoxBeaty Agreed, at least he’s willing.
@@collectiveconsciousness5314 yes god have mercy on us all
Thank you so much for your video is really nice 🙏
It is so beautiful to see young men on this pilgrimage.
I was twice on Athos. Once on the top of the mountain!
lol, i was twice on athos too, and once on the top. But i stayied 3 days on the top.
i hope to be there in one year
That was a great video! Thanks for making it, for those of us who want to have a glimpse, but are unable to visit.
Thank you very much for this vlog. I am currently contemplating a pilgrimage to the Holy Mount and I'm doing lots of research about it. Your vlog was very helpful in that regard. May your visit there be an enduring blessing for you, brother.
Thank you very much. I am really glad that it help you in a way!
Ευχαριστώ πολύ αδελφός
Beatiful vlog brother ! :) I would like to visit this holy place someday, since I’m Greek Catholic and we are closer to Eastern tradition than Roman Catholics. Spirit of this place must be something out of this world.
Thank you! You should definitely visit this holy place!
Thank you for this video! Would like to make it to Mount Athos some day. Started studying the Philokalia a few months ago, and now have been researching and learning.
You're welcome!
Υπέροχο βίντεο, υπεροχα πλάνα! Πόσο θα θελα να επισκεφτώ αυτό το μέρος..είμαι 20 χρόνων, άντε να βρω άτομο να πάω..
Να πας, αδελφέ μου! Καλύτερα να πας μόνος σου, πίστεψε με. Θα καταλάβεις πολύ περισσότερα μόνος σου και θα είναι και πιο εύκολα. Αν είναι η πρώτη σου φορά στο Όρος, σου προτείνω να πας στην Σιμωνόπετρα. Είναι το καλύτερο μοναστήρι του Αγίου Όρους. Βέβαια, η συγκεκριμένη μονή, είναι λίγο δύσκολη σε θέματα φιλοξενίας. Πρέπει να στείλεις email τουλάχιστον πέντε μήνες πριν την επιθυμητή ημερομηνία εισόδου σου στο Άγιον Όρος, γιατί έχει πολύ μικρό ξενώνα και μπορεί να φιλοξενήσει μόνο 20 άτομα την ημέρα. Αλλά αξίζει τον κόπο. Έχω πάει πολλές φορές και έχω μείνει κατάπληκτος. Θα ακούσεις την ωραιότερη ψαλμωδία. Οι Σιμωνοπετρίτες είναι οι καλύτεροι ψάλτες του Όρους. Αηδόνια! Πήγα και σε άλλα μοναστήρια του Αγίου Όρους, αλλά σαν τις ακολουθίες της Σιμωνόπετρας δεν έχει. Επίσης, η Σιμωνόπετρα έχει τους καλύτερους και ονομαστούς πνευματικούς (πατήρ Αθανάσιος, πατήρ Γερβάσιος, πατήρ Μύρων, γέροντας Ελισσαίος). Αξίζει να εξομολογηθείς εκεί, ειδικά στον πατέρα Μύρωνα. Δυστυχώς, όμως, τον τελευταίο ενάμιση χρόνο, η Σιμωνόπετρα δεν δέχεται προσκυνητές λόγω του κορωνοϊού. Αλλά, άκουσα ότι μπορεί φέτος το καλοκαίρι να αρχίσει να δέχεται πάλι. Πάντως, αν θέλεις, στείλε ένα email στο hospitality@simonopetra.gr και ρώτα. Μέσα σε τρεις ώρες θα σου έχουν απαντήσει. Να είσαι καλά! Η Παναγιά μαζί σου!

Good job and great experience.... just one thing...u change the images so fast so we can barely see or enjoy the place clearly....but it's a wonderful video thanks for sharing!
Thank You!! Did you go back?? Has your life changed because of your visit? SO impressed by your visit and wish to go there! May the Mother of God and the prayers of the fathers always protect you.
that's so sad, I can't go there

Thank u!

Αυτο με τι αύρες βρε παιδιά προσέξε το, είναι πολύ ινδικό. Καλλίτερα να λέτε Χάρι ή Χάρις ή Θεία Χάρις.
Stylianos,kalo sxoleio,efxaristo!!!
Πρώτον η αύρα είναι αρχαία ελληνική και δεύτερον υπάρχει
Αυτά δεν υπάρχει! Ούτε ενέργεια! Αυτα είναι απο Ινδία........εισαγόμενα υπάρχει όντως μόνο θεία Χάρη.
Αυρα.δεν υπάρχει στο Άγιο Όρος.....

A lovely video, but - alas to see this video! - Mt Athos has always forbidden video cameras' use there. It isn't somewhere to visit from the armchair.
Dear Steve,
please send youtube link with song starts from 5:22 or it's name. Shazam doesn't recognize it. Ευχαριστω πολυ!
Here u are Miroslav: ua-cam.com/video/4u452eKFbqQ/v-deo.html
I saw a lot of cats in the video, so just out of curiosity, are there no dogs at Mt. Athos?
What's the font you used in the thumbnail?

is it hard to become a monk at the monasteries at Athos? im currently in Australia
I wouldn't say it is hard. The hardest part is to dedicate yourself.
@@SteveKetner yeah im dedicated, just dont know how i can get there from australia during these times and im worried if they make the st@bby mandatory for travel. A lot of the monasteries in australia are selling m@sks and sanitiser to make money which has turned me off
@@ThomasG_Nikolaj stay committed to the true reason behind everything. Of you want it, you will find a way even though it is more tough now during these times and the governments ask even from monasteries to comply with covid regulations. Be patient
What is the name of the last song ?
For English caption, please use lower cases. Upper cases are hard to read.
what is the name of the background music between 2:50 to 3:00 & 3:25 to 3:30 very beautiful , and where can i find it?
After the intro there are 2 tracks from 1:05 to 10:15. The first on is called "Horos halai - Alexis Parharidis" ( ua-cam.com/video/mKRTYgPgx24/v-deo.html ) and the second on is this one ( ua-cam.com/video/4u452eKFbqQ/v-deo.html ).
Can you tell me what is the chant on the intro, and 13:47. is it the same?
Sorry I dont speak Greek. And then the chant at 9:52 a hymn "the mother of Christ"?
I would like to find a recording of both if possible. Any helpis appreciated.
On 13:47 is this ua-cam.com/video/g4W4_EOXRLo/v-deo.html
And on 9:52 is this ua-cam.com/video/4u452eKFbqQ/v-deo.html

Ωραίο το βίντεο από το προσκύνημα σας αδελφέ. Βοήθεια η Παναγία να ξανάπάτε. Παρακαλώ κάντε μια επίσκεψη και στο δικό μου κανάλι όπου έχω πολλά βίντεο από το Άγιον Όρος, αφιερώματα σε Αγίους και άλλα ενδιαφέροντα πιστεύω. Ευχαριστώ πολύ.

TO VISIT THE MOUNT MUST I BE HOLLY? SINLESS?: I LOVE WHAT YOU ALL DO AND BELIEVE IN YOUR DOCTRINES.
No-one is sinless except God. Places like these are built for the sinners to find God and themselves there. All you need to visit this place is will. The rest you can research.
PLEASE PRAY FOR ME AND MY FAMILY. I PRAY FOR YOU ALL TOO. BE BLESSED: IN JESUS'S NAME . AMEN AMEN
The opposite...as Jesus said
"The sick ones have the need of the hospital"
@@jonasehiogu7010Your name?
I have read many accounts of the sleeping conditions for visiters.....Do they differ from monastery to monastery?
it's kind of similar in every monastery.

1:13 - Must kitty be also male ?
Yes.
@@orthoglobus no cant the cats be female to keep mice and rat population in low?
@@halfthehill4910 No female pet is allowed in Mount Athos. All cats there have to be male.
I am 36 years old Asian, Christian, Gay, who find myself no place in this society. I asked God where should i spend the rest of my life, and have been wandering if Mount Athos is the place. I have been to Greece twice, but haven't visited Mount Athos yet.
I can see the fathers in Mount Athos are all caucasians old men and wonder if an asian like me have a place there ?
If you really search for God, you should visit Mount Athos. You will find some answers there if you deeply search. It's a place for everyone no matter what...
@@geodarnodan6750 In every place there is the good and the bad(evil). Even in Mount Athos. Especially when you reach closer to God the more the evil fights u. From what you say you are searching and from my experience in Mount Athos I will say that you will find the place you want there, away from social, mainstream life near to people who were searching the same. Mount Athos can provide you whaf you want but you have to really want this. And this is not gonna be so easy like you go and find the spot and the fathers in a few days. You have to prove your faith there and this will lead you to what you are searching...so finally you can find peace. I can say that because I know a few people who were searching for peace and a place away from everything to dedicate their selves to God and after years of pray and struggle they found it there.
@@SteveKetner But i don't speak greek, and there's no asian priest in mount athos. I will be an alien in Mount Athos.
@@geodarnodan6750 i am met some guys from Brazil who thought about the same language problem but after 4 days they told me they found their way to the monasteries they wanted to visit since the map isn't that difficult and they found also some fathers in younger age and a lot of pilgrima who speak English there. I told you, if you want it bad enough you will find your way but if you don't you will search for excuses and these exist in every step...
@@SteveKetner
1) The rooms that the fathers allocate the tourists to sleep in the monasteries, are the rooms creepy ?
2) Athos penisular is so big, which monasteries is the biggest and most worth visit ?

@@elainem3102 In most cases they were infected by serious illness like e.g. cancer. However in those cases that they sincerely repented for their sin, they were forgiven and were cured.
You have to understand that Mount Athos is the "Garden of Virgin Mary" and she has the first and last word on what is happening there...

Most of the music you put in the video is so beyond Athos - you obviously did not understand at all what Athos is about !!
You could have suggested proper music (to use in the next video) rather than coming by and leaving this comment which doesn't help at all. Regarding your personal opinion you say that because of the music choice I did not understand at all what Athos is about. Maybe I didn't or maybe I did, who knows... but you certainly did not understand what this video is all about and that music is just the creators/artist choice. The meaning/message/reason is far beyond the music... so next time think twice before you just leave a comment like this, especially during the Holy Week that faithful people (like you) try to be better human beings, pray and show understanding each other.
Das Ganze wirkt ziemlich gehetzt... passt so gar nicht zum Berg, seiner Stille, seiner Besinnlichkeit und seiner Spiritualität... Habt ihr Jungs verstanden, um was es hier geht...??
Albanians have made the greatest contribution to this land . 🇦🇱
I love turkalbanians, they built the universe from scratch.
Turkey is coming to take own lands. Wait for it. You will see the angels when we arrive. Greek shrimps.
@Mila Mila just wait. You will see
😂 molon labe
What's taking you so long bro? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Allahutoilet.
No Women allowed? Nope, never on my bucket list.. too weird
The sound of your video is very bad and you out of breath . I had to stop
The Greek monks took over, first as colonists and then as occupiers. Initially, Mt Athos belonged to the local Aromanian shephers. After settling in the Greeks edicted from Constantinople that only they should live there and evicted the local Aromanian shepherds. They stole the land. So even the Greek monks are thieves. You should have mentioned that since it is history.

what is the name of the first song?
The name is in greek: "H Νοερα Προσευχη" and you can find it here: ua-cam.com/video/g4W4_EOXRLo/v-deo.html
Thank you!
