The Real Reason You Fear Death (And How to Actually Stop) | Fr. Athanasios Mytilinaios

In this recording, Archimandrite Athanasios Mytilinaios (1927–2006) answers a fundamental question: "How can we overcome our fear of death?" He explains why ancient philosophy was born from man's fear of mortality, highlights the historic paradox of Marcus Aurelius persecuting Christians, and reveals how Christ’s Descent into Hades transformed the afterlife and freed believers from the fear of the grave.
