In 1941 a German scientific expedision visited Athos. Prof Dr Dölger published a book in 1942, with many black and white pictures (also see 599, 1399 and 1281).
Today I will show the old pictures of the monasteries we plan to visit in three weeks, starting with Vatopediou (and Chilandariou, Sografou and Docheiariou).
Vatopedi, courtyard, seen from a high tower
Vatopedi, relic, the skull of St. Gregor of Nazianz (329-390), although Wikipedia tells another story about his remains
Vatopedi most famous relic: the girdle of Mary, recently brought to Moscow
Docheiariou, with a fresco of Paradise in the top
Docheiariou – fresco in the exonarthex

Hello,
I wrote a book about my experiences in Athos.
In addition to my pictures, I want to use one of the pictures you published on this page of the site.
Can you give me the right to publish it?
I draw a parallel between the modern diamotyrion and the past.
Thanks.
Regards
