Загружаю...
| Специально для Fish-ka, чтобы не так было больно, что нас (женщин) на гору Афон не пускают... Фотографии, естественно, не мои (не пускают ведь), так что выражаю благодарность многочисленным авторам Athos, the Holy Mountain (called Agion Oros in Greek) is situated on the peninsula in northern Greece. This World Heritage Site is home to 20 Eastern Orthodox monasteries and forms a self-governed monastic state. Only males are allowed entrance into Mount Athos, which is called "Garden of the Virgin" by monks, and Orthodox Christians take precedence in the permit issuance procedure. Though land-linked, it is accessible only by boat. The number of visitors is restricted and all are required to get a special entrance permit before entering Mount Athos. Only males over the age of 18 who are members of the Eastern Orthodox Church are allowed to live on Athos. |
