Exhibition “Agion Oros: 1000 years, 100 photographs”

This photographic exhibition consists of a series of images that present Agion Oros across its thousand-year history. The photographs show the life and works of the monastic fathers, the lush landscape generously granted by the Virgin Mary, and the rare Byzantine architecture. The exhibition consists of four sections: Architecture, Nature and the environment, Daily life of the monastic fathers, and Prayer. The photo shooting was carried out with the blessing of the Holy Community (Ref. no. F 2/37/1657, 14/27 October 2004). The photo shooting and filming lasted 6 years, and part of the material was used to create the film “Pilgrimage to Agion Oros”, which is shown at the Cultural Center’s 3D theater. The photography exhibition completes the first round of projects intended to showcase the heritage of Agion Oros – the purpose for which the Cultural Center was established. The exhibition is housed in the Cultural Center, at the convention space, and entrance is free.

We are deeply grateful to the Holy Fathers for their generosity and their assistance.
