The bell tower turns golden in the last rays of sunlight. A fragile blossom opens on the Burning Bush. Three abbots and one hieromonk were recently visiting from Georgia. They were able to decipher a Georgian inscription on stone dated to the tenth century. Here is the transcription line for line: აჰა მთა ღვთისა შემწყნარებელი მ ონანულთაი ხარ ცო დვილი ლოცვა ყა ვთ Here is the same text written with more natural word […] First sun on the newly renovated kellia below the library. Advancing shadows at the end of the day distinguish a ridge from the mountain behind it. On the other side of the ridge is the hesychasterion of Saints Galakteon and Episteme. A double barred metal cross is visible on the mountaintop in the distance. When the Elder Paisios lived at the hermitage, at night […] In the summer, the sun rises far to the north. The first rays of sunlight shine on the valley above the hesychasterion of Saints Galakteon and Episteme. A grackle perches on top of the highest cross of the bell tower. Butterflies alight on the flowers of the Burning Bush. A detail of the last photo above. […] The Burning Bush in the first rays of sunlight. Buds open to reveal lilac coloured petals that later turn white. |
