Mt. Athos, November 14, 2024
Two days ago, it was reported that processions were held throughout Mt. Athos on Sunday entreating God to send rain to end the extended drought that Greece has been experiencing, and it seems the Lord quickly responded to their prayers.
Yesterday, pilgrims sent photographs to Vima Orthodoxias showing non-stop rain since Tuesday.
Sunday’s procession in the Athonite capital of Karyes carried the wonderworking Axion Estin Icon from the Protaton church past St. Paul’s and Zografou Monasteries, ending back at the Protaton. Prayers for rain were offered at intermittent stops.
Similar processions were held in all monasteries, sketes, and cells.
