This photo book is published in 1993 by the Filiotheou monastery in English and German and it containes some extraordinary pictures. I found the book in the lobby of the Skites Bungalows near Ouranopolis. The (excellent) Skites cook Giannis frequently visits the Holy Mountain and he studies religious science at the university.
