Dear Athos Web Log Host!
Thanks for your great website and regular updates. It is always so inspiring and informative to visit your web log. I am wondering if you have in your archives photos from the venerable Papa Stephanos of Karoulia +2001? Some remarkable memories of him have been captured in Athos photo collections here and there, especially a French volume (which we cannot find!). Maybe you could post a section in his memory one day, or use our email . . In Christ, Stephan
