What s Athos? In search of the essence of the Holy Mountain.

Athonite Orthodoxy (most regrettably it has almost all been extinguished) shares its central principle (arche)with natural Science. It is not words, it is "the thing", the act that matters. Grasping a concept can be further facilitated by the neuroscience process of "discrimination" which relates to the apophatic method of non-natural science episteme. In this section athosforum.org will present "things" and acts that are strong indices of what Athos is. Lest the adopted criteria be considered haphazard or arbitrary, a bibliography is provided.

A forum dedicated to the **Kollyvades movement**, the vital eighteenth-century Athonite renewal that championed fidelity to the patristic tradition, frequent participation in the Eucharist, hesychastic prayer, and sacramental depth. Here we explore the historical origins, principal figures, and theological principles of the Kollyvades, as well as their influence on later Orthodox spirituality and practice. Discussion includes how their insistence on tradition and experiential theology informs contemporary issues such as liturgical life, identity, and questions surrounding ecumenism within the Orthodox world.
