https://video.echelon.pl/videos/watch/2f758fe4-8f88-4840-bdc7-3db360529de7 For over a thousand years, Mount Athos has remained one of the most sacred places in Orthodox Christianity. Hidden on a Greek peninsula and accessible only with a special permit, the Holy Mountain is home to twenty ancient monasteries and a centuries-old monastic tradition unlike anywhere else in the world. This documentary by Tomasz Kunicki follows the journey from Ouranoupoli, the gateway to Athos, across the Aegean Sea, to a place where time seems to stand still. Along the way, we meet pilgrims from Greece and Ukraine, speak with monks about faith and daily life, and explore the remarkable history of the Skete of Saint Andrew. From dramatic ferry crossings and ancient monasteries to the unique Athonite tradition of remembering the dead, this film offers a rare glimpse into one of Europe's most mysterious and spiritually significant places.
