Elder Arsenios the Cave Dweller
by Monk Joseph, Dionysiatis

Elder Arsenios was naturally straightforward, simple, offenceless, meek, obedient; a rare struggler, who possessed nothing. He never harboured resentment, no matter how he was wronged. He never got angry; he never hurt anyone. He lived obedience with precision. That is why, through obedience and his unwavering faith in his Elder, he lived in a way that surpassed the laws of nature. During vigils, he began the night labouring excessively by kneeling thousands of times and then remained standing until morning.

Elder Joseph the Hesychast
Struggles - Experiences - Teachings
Translated by Elizabeth Theokritoff

Elder Joseph the Hesychast is one of the most important figures in Athonite monasticism of the twentieth century. Through his spiritual children and grandchildren, six of the twenty monasteries of Mount Athos have been renewed with vibrant brotherhoods, combining hesy­chasm with the cenobitic way of life. This influence has spread far beyond the borders of the Holy Mountain and Greece, with an especially strong presence in North America. Though Elder Joseph is a familiar figure throughout the English-speaking world, the details of his life have been relatively unknown.

Elder George Karslides (1901-1959)
by monk Moses the Athonite

The priestmonk George Karslides lived near the world but lived outside it, in a ceaseless asceticism and communion with the living God. In silence he gathered precious wealth, which he did not want to use greedily only for himself, but because he loved his brethren, he distributed it generously to the deceived and repentant people. With the individuality of his inner world, making humility-producing asceticism the foundation of his life,

Elder Vayianos - Archim Anthimos (1869-1960)
by Orthodox Kypseli

The life of holiness does not belong to the past, only. It also belongs to the present as well as to the future. Saint Anthimos of Chios, along with Saint Nectarios of Aigina (who, by the way, spent part of his life on the Island of Chios) are"saints of our century." They are proof of the eternal commitment of God and of God's people to the life of holiness.

Father Arseny
1893-1973 - Priest, Prisoner, Spiritual Father
Translated by Vera Bouteneff

It is one of the great mysteries of life that in atmospheres of the harshest cruelty, a certain few not only survive but emerge as beacons of light and life. Father Arseny, former scholar of church art, became Prisoner No. 18376 in the brutal "special sector" of the Soviet prison camp system. In the darkness of systematic degradation of body and soul, he shone with the light of Christ's peace and compassion. His sights set on God and his life grounded in the Church, Father Arseny lived by the injunction to "bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ" (Gal 6:2).

Saint Seraphim of Sarov
Valentine Zander

Orthodox spirituality has produced many holy and famous men, but none in recent centuries to compare with Seraphim, staretz of the monastery of Sarov. After an initial period as a monk, working with the community, he was led to become a hermit, living deep in the forest in a world of solitude which was only destroyed when he was attacked by brigands.... His fame and humility brought a steady stream of visitors, religious and royalty alike, to him for advice.

St Gregory Palamas as a Hagiorite
by Metropolitan Hierotheos Vlachos

I consider it a great blessing that my work "St. Gregory Palamas as a Hagiorite" is published in English, for many reasons, but mainly because a significant turn can be observed nowdays in the West. It is a turn towards orthodox life in its authentic expression, just as the holy Fathers lived it and formulated it, and particularly St. Gregory Palamas, who is the summation of all patristic teaching and orthodox life.

Wisdom From Mount Athos
The Writings of St Silouanos
by Archimandrite Sophrony


Staretz, or "elder", is a title given to Orthodox monks of particular spiritual development. Staretz Silouan was a Russian peasant whose only formal education consisted of two winters at the village school. But on Mt Athos, rooted in a tradition reaching back to the very beginnings of Christian monasticism, he was taught of God and attained wisdom akin to that of the Desert Fathers.

Witnesses for Christ
by Nomikos Michael Vaporis

This study is the culmination of two decades of research on Orthodox Christian neomartyrs under the Ottoman Turks. Fr Vaporis has complied the life stories of almost two hundred faithful men and women who were by and large of humble station, possessing little or no formal education, yet gave their lives, or witnessed, for Christ. It is a pan-Orthodox study which cuts across ethnic boundaries to include many non-Greek neomartyrs, from countries such as Albania, Bulgaria, Romania, Serbia, Cyprus, Egypt, Ukraine, and Georgia. It also includes a number of accounts of Muslims who converted to Orthodox Christianity and suffered a martyr's death because they refused to return to Islam. (includes 16 full-color icon plates).
