Monasteries have always been the strongholds of Orthodoxy and bastions of spirituality. From the foundation of a monastery cities would often spring up. In ancient times chronicles were kept and scholarship was developed.Orthodox monks supported the starving in years of crop failure, cared for the sick, and most importantly, always stood at the front lines of spiritual warfare—praying to God for the whole world, for every one of us.
