A place that you want to return to more and more often. I'm not an artist, but I couldn't help but draw St. Nicholas as a souvenir.Panteleimon Monastery and the road to Xenophon. I want to return in 2025, God willing.
We were in the monastery for five days. They went to day and night services, worked as laborers in their free time. The monks provided a Mercedes all-terrain vehicle for a tour of all the monasteries of Mount Athos and the capital of the monastic state of Kareya. The cells in the monastery are simple, but clean, the Windows overlook the Aegean Sea. There are no temptations, there are no televisions at all, electricity is supplied for a couple of hours a day, the rest of the time by candlelight. We ate together with the monks at a common table, everything is lean, but tasty and satisfying, even wine and very tasty olives are served. The monks are friendly and friendly. I highly recommend it for relaxation of body and soul.
Russian Russian St. Panteleimon Monastery is a pillar of Russian monasticism and the spiritual stronghold of Russia on Mount Athos.

This monastery is the only one on Mount Athos belonging to the Russian Orthodox Church. There are many relics, relics, and a bonehouse inside. An important difference is the Byzantine time (night) services.
An atmosphere of calm and tranquility! A place of power and grace! Even during the tremors from an earthquake, you understand - everything will be fine, otherwise it cannot be!
I was there back in 2012. The warmest memories. For Russians, the easiest way was to arrange the dismantling of the Panteleimon Monastery. I spent the night and you can travel to other monasteries. The meal was the simplest, but satisfying.
What a blessing. Where exactly are they serving in the name of the Lord!!! Every Orthodox should definitely visit here! Don't forget to confess and take communion. I highly recommend it.
I'm staying here to live - I want to scream so much, this is the most beautiful place on earth that I have visited more than once, and I hope it won't be the last time. Words cannot convey all the grace that is present there, it must be felt! Peace and kindness to all !!!
A holy place in the World, a holy land for an Orthodox believer.And holy people live here...Well, maybe not all of them are holy yet, but(!)they are clearly trying to overcome Themselves, overcome their passions and passions, and still become Saints!God help them!Christ is Risen!!!
What can be said bad about the holy place - nothing.
Yes, they searched for a long time, but they did not find a key keeper, unlike other Athos monasteries, where they were almost met at the entrance.
And what can you write about the shrine?
I bow to the brethren and the wonderful abbot that the monastery accepts up to 200 pilgrims daily for free (put them all to bed and feed them 2 times a day), and on holidays up to 400 people!
To get real spiritual benefit, you need to go there as a worker and for at least a week so that the way of thinking can stop / calm down in order to soak up the atmosphere of the monastery and Mount Athos.
Here in the world we pray, ask God, but we do not notice the dialogue and His answers. This monastery and Mount Athos itself are the ideal place for Worship. This is where you really get a personal experience of being God. Your prayers are answered quickly and noticeably, and often much better than you asked for and could have dreamed of.
autonomy is quite unique, only men are allowed here, rituals dedicated to Panteleimon the healer are held

The Center of Russian Spirituality and Orthodoxy on Mount Athos. Monastic life is not easy. Prayer for Russia, the whole Orthodox world requires deep faith and spirituality. God's help in monastic ministry
