Athos Forum

Description

Athos forum is dedicated to the monks and monasteries of Mt Athos-Agion Oros. It is a rich, constantly updated database open to cleric, monastic, researcher and layman. Topics include history, art, theology and literature.

ΑΝΤΡΕΣ ΜΑΚΕΔΟΝΕΣ ΣΛΑΒΟΙ ΧΡΙΣΤΙΑΝΟΙ
πως χτυποιουνται στο πατωμα
μουγκριτα
στην Παναγια στον Αγιο Στεφανο
αντε να τυχαινε
να σκιρτησει τ αρσενικο μεσα σου
να γινεις στρατιωτης του Χριστου

Identity

athosforum.org is a project conceived and operated by a retired Greek professor of Medicine (USA) whose broad interests include Philosophy, the Classics, Mathematics and Literature. Among the many books that I have written, two are in Theology. One of my literary books ("The Caique from Lavra") is about some unusual experiences I had on the Holy Mountain when I was young.

All three books are in many libraries including the Libraries of Harvard University.

This is an independent forum. No country, no interest or commercial group, no political ideology, no Athonite or other monastery is allowed to distort the objective of this forum. At the core of this forum is the conviction that Mt Athos and the Orthodoxy it has cultivated is one of the loftiest achievements of the human spirit and must be preserved.
