Here is the first illustrated history of Mt. Athos available in the English language! Athos is a spectacularly beautiful rocky peninsula on the coast of Greece, and 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.
