Mount Athos: The Forbidden Holy Garden of Greece

Описание: Explore the mysterious and sacred Mount Athos, a Greek peninsula where women have been prohibited from visiting for over a thousand years. This unique region, home to a collection of monasteries since at least the 4th century A.D., is controlled by the Greek Orthodox Church and enjoys autonomous status within Greece. According to tradition, the Virgin Mary blessed Mount Athos, declaring it her own holy garden, thus barring the presence of any other women. The prohibition extends beyond human visitors to include animals, with only males allowed. Join us as we delve into the rich history, religious significance, and the enduring customs of this secluded spiritual sanctuary.
