Visiting Meteora skyrocking monasteries

It is worth visiting one of the smallest monasteries on our way. Well-preserved murals (wall paintings) from the 16th century take the visitor back to the era when the monastery could only be reached by a ladder made of rope or wooden pieces. There are never many people here.

Besides that, this monastery is better to visit, because here we have less interfere and more original conditions, authentic way of monks life.

 

Having risen to the height of the clouds where the monastery is located, we begin to understand what difficulties the ascetic monks conscientiously faced. They needed more than 25 years just to raise the building stones and other materials to this height. History is silent about the way the first people got on a height of 619m, there are some sources that say the monks could fly. There is simply no other way to overcome a sheer wall with such a slope, because it was the time far before mountaineering and everything connected with it.

 

 

Here the monks were able to keep untouched both their faith and the relics of Orthodoxy.

Peace and tranquility always rule in sky-high monasteries, perhaps this is because the monks are constantly praying for the salvation of the souls of all sinners in the cells a couple of meters away from you, so you should not speak loudly in these holy places, in which service liturgies have been conducted for almost 700 years unstopable, every single day.

 

 

Also, you are kindly asked to show indulgence to believers whose tears begin to flow in the consecrated temples as soon as they feel the holiness of the place.

 

Sincere regret is not a transitional stage in the life of a monk or a temporary stage, but a state that continues forever. It is a second birth for a true believer who has chosen this difficult path. Fasting, prayers, night services are only a tool in the life of an ascetic. All this is done by a monk to get closer to the Holy Spirit.
