The saints of the Holy and Great Monastery of Vatopedi, on the semi-autonomous monastic community of Mt. Athos, are commemorated today by the Orthodox Church.
St. Maximus the Greek, also known as Maximos the Greek or Maximos the Hagiorite, for instance, was a noted 16th Vatopedi Monastery monk, writer, scholar, and translator — particularly active in Tsarist Russia and known as an illuminator of the Russian people.
An article today in the Orthodoxia news agency, in Greek, details the spiritual wealth of Mount Athos.
