The facebook page of Haritopoulos Stathis is a goldmine for rare and old Athos pictures. Today I share some of his old pictures: and just as in our last post,I think I need the help of our readers, because Haritopoulos not always explained where and on which moment the pictures were taken and how he obtained them. Here is the first:
Photo 1: A gathering of many monks near a large Katholicon in a wide courtyard. Date unknown.
Photo 2: military and monks, clearly this is Vatopedi. Date unknown, around WW I.
Photo 3: miltary (or Greek resistance forces?) in a Russian settlement (?), also around WWI/1922?
Photo 4: military on a stairs with monks and Efzone, around WWI/1922?
