Mount Athos Is On Fire!

Metropolitan Athanasios of Limassol relates below an extraordinary experience of an Athonite elder he knew personally: “One day after vespers were over the elder went to his cell to continue praying on his own. While doing that, he marvelled at the thought that everybody – all two thousand or so monks of the entire Athonite peninsula – was praying during that very moment. Then, he wondered what the Holy Mountain looked like under such intense prayer.
