In 2012, I was lucky enough to stay in Vatopede on the day of the celebration of the belt of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the first holiday after Easter in the Vatopede monastery. There were an unimaginable number of people from all over the world. The service lasted from evening until lunch the next day with a coffee break. Everything is as it should be on Mount Athos with the "teriremes" and the rocking of the oros. Like I've been to heaven. Well, the meal was right royal!!!
I would be very grateful if you were lucky enough to visit the monastery and you could pray for the recovery of my son Vladimir. He has been ill continuously for several years. Doctors only spread their hands. Help please.

The largest monastery of Mount Athos. One of the important differences is the presence of choirs performing prayers during services. This must be seen and heard.
