“Athos: Echoes from the Holy Mountain” focuses on the tradition and the daily life of the monks of Mount Athos, inviting contemporary artists and researchers to approach and revisit its contemporary implications.

Mount Athos, known as the ‘Holy Mountain’, has been a monastic peninsula in north-eastern Greece for over a thousand years. Its twenty monasteries are home to around 2,000 monks dedicated to prayer and worship, whose chants have echoed across the Aegean Sea for centuries, heard only by passing pilgrims, isolated from conventional time and world events. The book has been published in three languages and in two versions: Greek-French and Greek-English. It includes essays, articles, photographs and artistic contributions from contributors such as Stratos Kalafatis, Theodore Psychoyos, Tefra90, Father Damaskinos Ulkinuora, Prof. Thomas Apostolopoulos, Makar Tereshin, Phaedra Douzina-Bakalaki, Michelangelo Paganopoulos and Alberto Cameroni.

This version is a 310-page bilingual artbook in English and Greek, bound in a unique and custom “S” bind.
