The Holy and Great Monastery of Vatopedi on Mount Athos, Greece, was built during the second half of the 10th century by three monks, Athanasius, Nicholas, and Antonius, from Adrianople, who were disciples of Athanasius the Athonite.

Now the God of hope fill you all with joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost. (Romans 15, 13)

The love for our fellow-men, but mainly the love of Truth, the divine Truth revealed in the Person of the incarnate Word, Christ our God, has moved the hearts of the Athonite fathers to give in to the request of ever more faithful to create, be it in the digital space, a website where those wanting to find out  about the views of the Athonite fathers on various current issues of spiritual life can do it easily.

The danger caused by the multitude of heresies of our days, as well as the growing confusion among Orthodox believers, generated by the negative impact of the secularization of today’s society, urged the Athonite fathers to take on the fight and confess the Truth.

Spirited by the divine love burning in their hearts and by the hope of victory in this fight, strengthened by the shadow of the Almighty, the strugglers of Orthodoxy lay down their souls for their brothers in Christ and preach the divine word “in season and out of season”.

May this their offering be accepted before God and bear rich harvest in the heavenly  “barns”.
