It keeps on snowing on the Holy Mountain: many beautiful and rare photo’s appear on the internet, such as these from Karyes and the Protaton and the Holy Epistatia building:and the main road and hotel in Karyes, with large icicles!
Here a picture from the quay in Dafni, what a different way to start a pilgrimage! (photo from Monastiriaka, thanks).
Snow paints Nea Skiti white (photo father Eusebios)
The portico in Dionysiou almost filled up by drifting snow
And – ofcourse – small and large snowmen in Nea Skiti and Sografou.
