A famous Greek TikToker with hundreds of thousands of followers gathered over the past eight years has dropped out of the “influencer” game to dedicate her life to Christ as a nun.

23-year-old Eleni Mazlou had nearly 480,000 followers who enjoyed her videos that often included scenes from everyday life, vacations, beauty tips, fashion, and other similar topics, reports the Union of Orthodox Journalists with reference to celebrity.reporter.com.cy.

However, most of Mazlou’s videos recently disappeared, leaving her followers wandering what happened to her. Thus, she decided to publish photos on Instagram from her monastic tonsure, where she was given the name Ipomoni (Patience).

In one recent video, she explains that she made this decision after a deep spiritual search, feeling the need to step away from the fame and publicity that TikTok brought her in order to focus on her faith.

In the description of her social media accounts, she writes that she loves God and has left only posts related to Christianity.

One of the “Terrifying” Karoulia hermitage caves on Holy Mount Athos is the site where the Serbian Monk named Seraphim lives in summer. Winter is very severe here, and so during the cold season he moves from the small, narrow cave, where there is barely enough space for one person, into a wooden hut outside.
