The way modern states with Byzantine Culture approach the Church is worse than Secular , It is pseudo believing what was once meant to be the religious arm of the state from Greece to Russia and Finland even

Is an expired belief which Rasputin would rejoice naked without any robe.

Most of these temples have superb acoustic they should turn to classical music or other events to keep at least the art and form alive.

Athos place could be the alexandria of Europe for Scholars to study philosophy , Byzantine Culture and organize events.

I think it is fair to say if Europe is to throw money to this there should not be called a furnice of Euro to the pyre of...Faith , Tradition and keeping Patriotism alive Corruption is abundant and this is probably they denied support from Brussels to avoid and this Scandal.

Faith is Rot , if the monasteries are to rot as well and the temples so be it.

Christ did not need Saint Sophie to preach but a hill and a real audience.

I read the good book once.
