PHOTO:Mount Athos -The Cornerstone of Orthodoxy

“God is within us and the Beast is outside of us…”, supported by Aristotle, this small and great, which coexist in the human soul and met in human existence, are struggling to hold up every day with small, human, everyday actions, but with a clear mind, which is the bridge to the Good and the road of compound to the Divine, the monks and the monasticism, everywhere, but especially in Mount Athos, considered to Orthodox Greeks as the Cornerstone of Faith. A faith that passes all the fluctuations in the difficult times we live in… from Crucifixion… to Resurrection… Happy Easter (!)
