Explores how for 1,000 years Mount Athos has played a unique role in facilitating the spread of Orthodoxy throughout Eastern Europe and beyond. As purveyors of spiritual and mystical ideas, the monks have exerted considerable influence not only on ecclesiastical affairs but also on politics, culture, and the arts.
