Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discover the rich spirituality of monastic life on Mount Athos--a place like no other on earth. Twenty-five years ago, M. Basil Pennington, OCSO, was the first Western monk to live on Mount Athos for more than the usually permitted overnight visit. The Monks of Mount Athos chronicles his extraordinary stay, his experiences of the East, and lively conversations with his hosts about theological differences and unfamiliar spiritual practices. Listen in as Abbot Basil wrestles with historical differences between Christianity's East and West, learns the Orthodox practice of "the prayer of the heart," and explores the landscape, the monastic communities, and the food of Athos--a monastic republic like no other place on earth. New to this edition, Archimandrite Dionysios, a monk from "the Holy Mountain," reflects on the ecumenical openness fostered as a result of, and since, Abbot Basil's stay. The abbot's experiences on Mount Athos motivated him to re-examine his role as a monk and his relationship to God. His inspiring meditations will help you to explore your own relationship to God and to others.

Download or read book Mount Athos the Sacred Bridge written by Dimitri Conomos and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2005 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most of the papers included in this volume were first presented at a conference convened by the Friends of Mount Athos at Madingley Hall, Cambridge, in 2003. Mount Athos is the principal surviving centre of Orthodox monasticism and the spiritual heart of the Orthodox world. The aims of the conference were to draw attention to the historic importance, the spirituality, and the religious legacy of the Holy Mountain and to shed light on the contribution made by Athonite monasticism not only to worldwide Orthodoxy but also to Christianity at large. Many of the papers focus on particular individuals who from the fourteenth century to the twentieth have exemplified the spiritual traditions of Athos and whose memory as spiritual fathers, confessors, and ascetics continues to inspire their successors today.
Download or read book The Monks of Mount Athos written by Jacques Valentin and published by . This book was released on 1960 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Jacques Valentin, a young Frenchman, went with two friends to spend several months on Mount Athos because he was curious about the men who choose to live there. A place which has been holy for so long; a place on which for over a thousand years no female creature has been allowed to set foot; it has always inspired an especial reverence in members of the Orthodox Church, and curiosity in others. Valentin and his friends wanted to find out for themselves what spirit prevailed there. They trudged over the hard, wild country from monastery to monastery, growing thin on the austere hospitality provided in them, making a film when it was permitted, and talking to as many monks as they could. Jacques Valentin has no pretensions. He simply describes what they saw and heard, and how, light-hearted and moderately sceptical young men that they were, they began to glimpse the true meaning of monastic life. The result is a fresh and attractrive book. It is not easy to forget, for example, their meetings with Father Nicholas, one of the hermits who live in tiny huts clinging to a cliff at the tip of the peninsula, striving night and day for direct union with God. It is a distinction of this book that its agreeable, inquisitive tone does not disguise the reverence with which these young travellers came to listen to a message from a world so remote and strange to them"--Publisher's description, p. [2] of dust jacket.

Book excerpt: Mount Athos, a spectacularly beautiful rocky peninsula on the coast of Greece, has been a monastic preserve since the ninth century. This richly illustrated book tells the entire story of Athos, the Holy Mountain, from the first anchorite monks who lived in caves and huts through centuries of political and religious controversy to the thriving monastic communities of today. "Superb photographs, fascinating. Travelers and pilgrims alike, as well as those who prefer to stay at home, will relish this tour of Athos’s history, its relics and treasures, and, in part, its consciousness.”--Literary Review "An all-embracing panorama of the nature and detailed history of Athos.”--Anglo-Hellenic Review "This beautifully produced book contains everything the layman could wish to know about Athos. It is more, much more, than a mere travel book, though it would be a useful addition to the Orthodox pilgrim’s knapsack.”--The Tablet
Download or read book Mount Athos a Journey of Self Discovery written by Luiz Rocha and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2009-02 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about the life lessons learned and experienced by the author during a pilgrimage to Mount Athos in Greece, one of the oldest surviving monastic communities in the world; an exclusive domain of monks and other holy men; a place molded in tradition, history, legend, and miracles. Known as the Holy Mountain, it remains fundamentally unchanged since the eighth century. The author visits a number of monasteries and learns from the monks, hermits, and other people he meets about the historical differences between the Christian religion in the East and West, the symbolism of the faith, the influence of paganism on Christianity, and the Byzantine Empire's art and iconography. Most importantly, immersed in this environment, he is confronted with some of the fundamental questions that we deal with on our lives' journeys over and over again. He is also introduced to the mystic side of an unfamiliar spiritual practice called "hesychia," a technique combining concentration with inward tranquility. The book merges elements of research, memoir, art, history, philosophy, and spirituality into a single story. What emerges is a fascinating and insightful account of a world that is entirely new to many Western readers.
Download or read book The Life of Prayer on Mount Athos written by Douglas Dales and published by Peter Lang Limited, International Academic Publishers. This book was released on 2020 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "According to St Basil, the monk's whole life should be a season of prayer, both public prayer and private prayer. That is what the monks of Mount Athos are there to do. That is the basis of their entire way of life. Athos is sometimes called 'the mountain of silence', but as one living Athonite has written, 'here you can hear the hum of unceasing prayer.' The book explores all dimensions of this mystery, beginning with the deceptively simple question 'what is prayer?' Subsequent papers consider various aspects of prayer as practised on Athos both in public and in private: the prayer of the church and the prayer of the cell, prayer when working, prayer when painting icons, the musical tradition of prayer and the poetic tradition, culminating in the Jesus Prayer or prayer of the heart which is the foundation of the current renewal of monasticism on Athos. All the papers in this book were delivered at a conference held by the Friends of Mount Athos in Cambridge in March 2019"--
