kimberly31+FollowAncient Monasteries Shaken in GreeceDid you hear about the earthquakes rocking Mount Athos? This secluded Greek peninsula, home to centuries-old Orthodox monasteries, just took a major hit. The Monastery of Xenophon, built in the 10th century, now has severe cracks in its dome and damaged frescoes. Restoration crews are rushing in, but it’s wild to think these sacred sites have survived so much—until now. Fingers crossed the repairs can save these pieces of history! #MountAthos #Earthquake #History #Religion90Share
Dr. Robert Barnes+FollowMonks Brawl Over 50-Year-Old FeudA monk at Greece’s Mount Athos just landed in the hospital after a wild fight broke out—yep, between monks! The drama? It’s all about a decades-old beef over who really runs the Esphigmenou Monastery. One side won’t budge, the other wants them out, and things got so heated someone grabbed a gardening tool. Now, both sides are pointing fingers and calling each other fakes. Who knew monastery life could be this intense? #MountAthos #MonasteryDrama #OrthodoxChurch #Culture31Share
