EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph taken by Ethel Davies in 2019, the majestic and awe-inspiring Mt. Athos in Greece stands proudly against the backdrop of a clear, azure sky. Located on the easternmost tip of the Athos Peninsula in Central Macedonia, this ancient and sacred place is a unique Eastern Orthodox monastic community that has remained unchanged for over a thousand years. Established in the 10th century, Mt. Athos is home to twenty monasteries and numerous sketes, inhabited solely by male monks of the Greek Orthodox faith. The monks live in seclusion, dedicating their lives to prayer, study, and the preservation of Orthodox traditions. The image captured by Ethel Davies showcases the breathtaking beauty of this spiritual haven, with its rugged terrain, crystal-clear waters, and ancient monasteries nestled among the lush greenery. The contrast between the vibrant colors of the vegetation and the stark, monochromatic hues of the stone structures adds to the otherworldly atmosphere of this sacred place. As you gaze upon this image, you can almost hear the gentle sound of the waves crashing against the shore, and feel the cool breeze that carries the scent of the sea and the earth. It is a reminder of the timeless beauty and spiritual significance of Mt. Athos, a place that has remained a beacon of faith and devotion for centuries. Ethel Davies' photograph offers a glimpse into the past and the present, inviting us to reflect on the rich history and enduring traditions of this remarkable place. Whether you are a history buff, a spiritual seeker, or simply someone who appreciates the beauty of the natural world, this image of Mt. Athos is sure to inspire wonder and awe.
