Light a candle on Mount Athos

For the first time, our charitable foundation specializing on helping Mount Athos monks offers the opportunity to light a candle for you on Mount Athos. This is a very important project, the implementation of which took us a lot of time and effort: after all, it is impossible to go to the Holy Mountain to ask the monks to pray for you and your loved ones every time there's a need for this. Now you have the opportunity to do it at any time from all around the world.

Mount Athos for women

According to the Charter of the Holy Mountain, only men can visit Mount Athos. Women are forbidden to enter the territory of the monastic republic. However, nowadays women who wish to get closer to the monastic republic and experience the sanctity of this place can take a cruise along the Holy Mount Athos shores. The ships approach closely the monasteries of Athos coastal line. For those who cannot visit Mount Athos, the monks of the Holy Mountain bring the miraculous icons and relics of the saints to the cruise ships.

Tamas

In many Greek temples, one can see small embossed plates hanging in front of icons. These plates are called tamata, or tamas. It's a very beautiful ancient tradition: the believers present tamas to the icons, thus "personifying" their requests or expressing gratitude for divine help. Now you also have an opportunity to convey your request or express gratitude for divine assistance to miraculous images from the comfort of your home. You can purchase tamas, which we will then deliver to the Orthodox icon of your choice.
