Annotations

Historical documents on ancient Mount Athos history are very few. It is certain that monks have been there since the fourth century. according to the legend Virgin Mary and St John stopped there to avoid the storm. The Athonite monks themselves claim Constantine the Great as the founder of the monasteries.
