This book examines the part played by monks of Mount Athos in the diffusion of Orthodox
monasticism throughout Eastern Europe and beyond. It focuses on the lives of outstanding
holy men in the history of Orthodoxy who have been drawn to the Mountain, have absorbed
the spirit of its wisdom and its prayer, and have returned to the outside world, inspired
to spread the results of their labours and learning. In a remarkable demonstration
of what may be termed 'soft power' in action, these men have carried the image of
Athos to all corners of the Balkan peninsula, to Ukraine, to the very far north of
Russia, across Siberia and the Bering Strait into North America, and most recently
(when traditional routes were closed to them by the curtain of communism) to the West.
Their dynamic witness is the greatest gift of Athos to a world thirsting for spiritual
guidance
