- An English overdub of the 1981 film
'A thousand years seem like just one day,
Monks from Athos, the Holy Mountain'
originally made for German TV.
The film is described as
"a sensitive study of one of the
twenty great monasteries of Mount Athos,
a thousand year old monastic republic in northern Greece-
the famous 'Holy Mountain' of the Orthodox church.
A detailed picture of life in the 900 year old
monastery of Simonopetra."
+Lord, Jesus Christ, have mercy on me the sinner+
This place is truly a piece of heaven on Earth.
Amen
Greetins from Romania,
God bless Grecee,our brothers and sisters.
Multumim pentru postare.
Best documentary ever made in Mount Athos. No gossip. No phony artistic choices. All focused on monastic spiritual life. Thanks!
Though I've never been to Mt. Athos, I've received much ministry from there. I love the Philokalia. I've watched numerous videos about Athos and read several books about it and about some of the monks. Thank God for this Holy place!
Walking angels on earth!
Glory to God for their Abbot , formerly (shown here) the God-bearing Elder Aemilianos now retired! The Love of God energizes these holy monastics -the All-Holy Spirit speaks through them to His little ones! Their work has come here to Sacred Monastery of Saint Nina in Union Bridge MD and Holy Spirit Monastery in Burnsville NC (under Georgian Patriarchate) whose spiritual Elder is Dionysios of Mt. Athos. We praise God for His answer to our prayer for them to come to be in America !
Tommaso Cianti, I am a Greek Orthodox Christian and have been all my life. Welcome. This is a way of life, a true faith. For us.
Elder Aemilianos' writings are a treasure of guidance for anyone who desires with whole heartedness to follow Christ as Bridegroom and Lord of our Lives. Available in English: " Life in the Spirit" and "Church at Prayer" - both with collections of sermons and talks given by this holy elder!
KEEP YOUR MINDS MORE ON CHRIST, SAY THIS PRAYER AND LOOK NOT ON THE THINGS OF THE WORLD WHICH WILL ONLY DO HARM TO YOUR PRECIOUS SOULS. LET YOUR MIND AND HEART BE OPEN TO GOD.
I want to bring this Holy Faith to everyone I know, because I want them to have the peace and joy that Jesus Christ has given me since I discovered this Holy Church. Afterall, it's His Holy Church, and He made it possible for me to be truly converted to His way of thinking. I've got a long way to go, but I love this journey I'm taking, because it makes me see things in a much more positive way. He also gives me hope that I didn't have before during my years as an outsider and later on, a Protestant. I was a mess! In fact, one of my Greek friends used to call me the "raging Protestant." I have to chuckle every time I think of that, because I certainly didn't know how to "see" things any other way than what was in the Bible, and even that was skewed. I knew I was missing so much, and I also knew I wouldn't be able to find the answers I needed in my former background.
I must say there is something fascinating about Orthodox monastic life
God Bless you for posting this for us.
God willing im gonna go to mount athos next year, proud to be a christian Orthodox
what i heard is that you gotta be a christian orthodox to go mount athos.
***** 100 Orthodox and 10 non Orthodox are allowed in each day. You just have to book in advance and notify the Monks by phone the days you would like to stay. Worth the trip for anyone...
@@serb4lyf3
You have to be a man to go there. But they let non Orthodox men there.
May the memory of Elder Amilianos be eternal! Αίωνία ή μνήμη!
He really was such a great theologian. I read his book with Comments on the texts of Avva Isaia, his insight into the spiritual life was incredible. 🙏
I love this. Especially the concluding statement! Thank you for this beautiful film.
thatz for sure the Holiest place on Earth.. No wonder why Jesus Christ, concecrated this Mount to His Monther, the Virgin Mary
More Archimandrite Aimilianos! What have I done to deserve this. Pure and unadulterated bliss. Father Aimilianos encompasses it with Holiness, simplicity and profundity. With undying love. Amen and Amen. 🙏 ❤❤❤❤❤
THIS IS MOST BEAUTIFUL, MOST HOLY. I THANK YOU AND THANK GOD FOR LETTING IT COME TO US TO EXPERIENCE, TO PRAY WITH AND TO DRAW CLOSER TO GOD. MAY GOD CONTINUE TO POUR OUT GREAT GRACES TO THE MONKS ON THIS HOLY MOUNTAIN AND MAY WE SEE AN INCREASE IN DEVOTION LIKE THIS TO OUR MOST HOLY MOTHER OF GOD AND HER BELOVED SON JESUS CHRIST,OUR BLESSED LORD AND GOD. MAY HE SAVE US AND OUR COUNTRIES. MAY WE BE ONE WITH HIM.
KYRIE ELEISON, HAVE MERCY ON ME A SINNER. LET US MAKE THIS OUR PRAYER TO HIM WHO CREATED US.
MAY CONVERSION COME TO ALL OF US THROUGHOUT THE WORLD IN EVERY HEART AND MIND WHO IS WANTING TO BE ONE WITH GOD. MAY GOD BRING US BACK TO HOLINESS IN OUR CHURCHES, OUR MARRIAGES, OUR CHILDREN AND OUR WORLD. WE BELONG TO GOD HE CREATED US.HE CREATED US MAN AND WOMAN AND SAID GO FORTH AND MULTIPLY.
LET US RETURN THIS LOVE HE HAS FOR US TO HIM. LET HOLINESS ABOUND IN THE WORLD NOT SIN AND IMPURITY, GREED AND VIOLENCE. HUMBLE YOURSELF BENEATH THE MIGHTY RIGHT ARM OF GOD AND BE MADE HOLY AND PLEASING IN GOD'S SIGHT.
Beautiful. Christ is risen!!! Love Him. Jesus prayer...
Signore Gesù Cristo , Figlio di Dio , abbi pietà di me , un peccatore!
Greetings from Italy from a newborn Orthodox!!
***** Congratulations Tommaso, you made a great decision to become Orthodox.
andrea castellana Hi Andrea,, that's great. Do you live in Italy? I didn't know there were Italian Orthodox. I live in Canada, and I know people who are half Italian and half Greek and are Orthodox. But I wasn't aware of Italians in Italy being Orthodox. Congratulations.
Archie D we are growing in number,day by day we grow...because of the false Vatican Church,that bow down to false cult such islam and the ecumenism that they push in strong ways...a lot of roman Catholic are passing over the True Christ Church,the Orthodox Church!!
***** You are correct. They have been brainwashed and unfortunately they do not follow the true Church of Christ, the Orthodox Church. Do you live in Italy? Are there a lot of Orthodox Christians in Italy?
Archie D we are (immigrants and italians) 200.000 . I live in Bologna, but i come from Florence . In Florence there is a Beautiful XIX century Orthodox Church , builded with the help of some russian nobles that used to live in Florence , the Demidoff's family .
Thanks for posting.
What a beautiful video. Thank you for posting it!
VERY HOLY MT.ATHOS.NICE
Thanks for you kind words. Mt Athos is a long trip away from Columbus, Ohio (US), an the Salvation Army (my church). But who knows what God has in store for me tomorrow.
When you want to go to Mt Athos call me 6906712266 Greece
Absolutely beautifully and prayerfully created!
I wish I had their faith and belief.

Thanks for this kind sharing
THE ONE AND ONLY ORTHODOX CHURCH
Really appreciate that this answered so many of my questions! Thanks for the upload. 👍🏼
Holy One Son
Beautiful documentary!
The narrator has a very strong accent/speech impediment; for a "language-nerd" like me, that can be very distracting, but I'm glad that someone took the time to narrate this film in English... obviously a work of love.
Hallelujah
God have mercy upon us in a world gone completely mad
Not Orthodox, but this is a lovely expression of Christianity.
Bob Jones
not protestantism and not roman catholicism -
this _is_ Orthodox Christianity.
Godly Mathew I think Bob Jones was trying to say that he himself is not an Orthodox Christian, not that the video itself does not depict Orthodoxy.. 😉
+Giuseppe +Bob Jones
sorry, i think you are right. thanks for the correction. i misread the comment. my apologies to Bob Jones.

στο όνομα του πατέρα του γιου και του αγίου πνεύματος amen τα αδέρφια μου στο βουνό athos και στον κόσμο και αδελφές σε αυτόν τον κόσμο
I’m so happy I cannot go there!

To believe is a personal discretion, believe what you believe, whatever you believe that is what you are living for in this world, after the final end, it is just you and your God.
Slava tebe Gospodi Slava Tebe!
What is the song at the beginning? It’s beautiful. I have recently come across the Orthodox Church and I have been attending Divine Liturgy
If I am not mistaking, it is the greek version of the prayer to Saint Mother Mary. In romanian, it is called Paraclisul Maicii Domnului and that particular part heard there is called "De multe ispite fiind cuprins, alerg la tine Preacurata Fecioara". You can find it on youtube in the Ortodoxia si Patria channel.
It’s sounds like a hymn from the service of Matins, as the first words sound like Όσιε του θεού πρεσβευε υπερ ημον (Osie tou Theou presvefe iper imon) I believe translated to” Holy Men of God Intercede on our behalf”
It's funny how many of the comments/replies here on CZcams have nothing to do with the actual video on which they are supposed to be commenting. I believe there is no point commenting on the content of videos such as this... we're supposed to comment on the video itself, not about the subject matter of the video.
Athos, Macedonia®, Greece
This people need an update
in the video at mark45:54 there is a emblem of a golden two headed bird of prey. What is the history and origin of this symbol? can anyone assist my quest? God bless all on Athos
thankyou for the reply God bless
scott morse May I also add that the "dicephalos aetos" or the double -headed eagle initially represented the Roman/Byzantine Empire. It stood for the vast empire that faced the East as well as the West. This symbol is a great part of the Eastern Greek Orthodox Church. Many other countries have incorporated in their cultural symbolisms, such as Russia, Albania and others. In addition, the Patriarchate in Constantinople also uses it in their flag.

ORTHODOX PRIEST I am a catholic and like to believe that i am saved by the blood of Jesus Christ. I do not speak against orthodox Christianity for it is beautiful and seems to me like it's liturgy and worship are set in precious amber from the first disciples of Jesus, totally unchanged as a reminder to this vile modern age that truth and grace transcend time and fashions and movements. God and Christ are eternally the same and unchangeable.
I would gladly attend orthodox mass but not sure if it's possible. I am a bit confused about the differences between Byzantine, Easterm, Melkite etc - they all seem to gloriously holy and divine.
Peace and fraternity to you Orthodox Priest
LOOK AT " ORTHODOX TIME LINE CHART " ! GOOGLE SEARCH . AND CZcams " GREEK ORTHODOX CHURCH HISTORY PART 1/2/3/4
ORTHODOX PRIEST The concept of vicarious redemption is immoral on its face.
+g00gle minus --Nothing arrogant there, just Gods truth. Whats arrogant is people like you that probably think that nothing Orthodox really matters.
The Greek monks took over, first as colonists and then as occupiers. Initially, Mt Athos belonged to the local Aromanian shephers. After settling in the Greeks edicted from Constantinople that only they should live there and evicted the local Aromanian shepherds. They stole the land. So even the Greek monks are thieves. You should have mentioned that since it is history.
Guess what, the land in which you’re living and built your house is also “stolen”. Are you a thief?
Do you have anything topical?
Dedicated to Christ's mother but no female is allowed to go there.
There are only 2 Mountains of God on Earth..........One is the Mountain in Sinai, and the other is Mt Zion, Jerusalem, there is NO other.......
Nowhere in the Scriptures does it teach, Isolate yourself to worship God......Jesus said, Live your life, but be not part of this world, the Material world.........He didnt say, lock yourself in a building or Island, of what value to God if you do that......The true test of Faith, is to live in the real world and hold your faith.........Locking yourself away, there is no faith because there is no life...........This is extremism and is not what God intended for man..........
The Apostles of Christ did not live like Monks, they lived in the real world with real people, all of their lives......and they preached the word of God in His Christ............and they certainly did not perform religious ceremonies like the monks, they simply broke the bread and drank unfermented wine to remember Jesus and the work he did in his Fathers Name....
These monks live like the because they want to pray to God and I am orthodox fyi Topcat+
Praying to God is as simple as breathing air. you can do it anywhere. Prayer is communication with God. Locking yourself away in a Monastery is not what God intended us to do. That is not the real world. Jesus was the Son of the Living God, if anyone should have set the example of locking yourself away, it would have been him.......but he didn't, Jesus lived in the real world, interacting with reality........
Nowhere in Scripture does God command us to pray to him from a life of seclusion. Look at the results of the Catholic Priests, unable to live in the real world because of the demands placed on them, and the end result, Pedophilia, sexual liaisons with women.........God created man to have a mate.....and to worship him in that relationship, and to grow up strong and spiritual.... I am Orthodox....
Jesus also "locked" himself away into the desert. No matter how you read it - literally, metaphorically, etc. One needs to first calm one's mind and face his or her own inner enemies and issues in a ferocious battle. Do not fear, slay yourself as you slay all the demons without a blink of an eye, then wherever you abide, wherever you are at the particular moment, nothing can break apart your link and nothing can get you distracted. And still, ascetism is as dangerous as the life full of worldly sinful pleasures.. Praying to God is not always that easy, meditation is not that easy too. How can you do whatever you do without the mindfulness and full awareness of your practice? Recluses go away from the world just to get that inner calm so they can maintain their practice the best way they can. For the most of them Praying to God is not as that easy as to yourself, Topcat. Sometimes breathing air means you should drown first.
Dragansky, I kind of agree with some of your comments...so, I dont want to take that away from you.....Christ, was a man....in the flesh like every other Human, Tempted like man on all points, and he overcame every obstacle......He went into the desert, to face those challenges in graphic detail for our sake......He knew who he was, what he had to do, and he did it to the end......and the moral to that Biblical story, is to show man, that we, in the flesh can overcome sin, that we do not have to transgress the Law.......and to trust God........
Then he came out of the desert and commenced his Mission, in Public......and many times we all do that, we take time out......Prayer is communication with God, and sometimes it isnt easy, totally agree...... The Bible teaches us, to go to our prayer closet or a quiet place to pray......but we also return to the real world. We are a communal animal, we were never created to be in isolation......on our own!
Topcat Ofcourse, i totally agree with you. we are, as the greek philosophers say "zoon politikon" or as you said it yourself - communal animal, social mammals. there is no way around it, and this is reality, i agree.
mount athos is a paradise for gay men
