MOUNT ATHOS: THE HEART OF THE HOLY MOUNTAIN | Iviron, Stavronikita, Karyes & Filotheou | 4K

Enter deeper into the spiritual heart of Mount Athos – Agion Oros, one of the most sacred places of Orthodox Christianity. In Part 3 of this cinematic journey across the Holy Mountain, we visit ancient monasteries, the administrative and spiritual centre of Athos, and places marked by centuries of prayer, martyrdom and Orthodox tradition. We begin at the historic **Iviron Monastery**, home to the miraculous icon of the Panagia Portaitissa. From there, we continue to the spectacular **Stavronikita Monastery**, perched dramatically above the Aegean Sea. Our journey then takes us to **Karyes**, the administrative and spiritual centre of Mount Athos and home of the historic **Protaton Church**. Here we visit a place connected with the martyrdom of Athonite monks during the Latin invasion of 1282, when defenders of Orthodox faith were killed in Karyes. Finally, we travel to the ancient **Philotheou Monastery**, one of the historic monasteries of the Holy Mountain. Experience Mount Athos in 4K, captured during a real pilgrimage through the Holy Mountain.
