EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures Makarios, the Archbishop of the St Panteleimon Monastery on Mount Athos, Greece, in the 1870s. Standing tall with a commanding presence, Makarios holds a staff symbolizing his religious authority. His long beard and traditional robes reflect his commitment to his faith. The St Panteleimon Monastery, also known as Rossikon, is prominently featured in this image. As the largest Russian Orthodox monastery on Mount Athos, it has a rich history dating back to its establishment by monks from Kiev Rus in the 12th century. The current structure was built during the early 19th century. Makarios's portrait exudes an air of solemnity and devotion that resonates with viewers even after all these years. This monochrome photograph showcases not only his individual character but also represents a significant era in Greek Christianity. Preserved within the collection of Moscow's State Museum of History, this fine art image offers us a glimpse into religious life during the nineteenth century. It serves as a testament to both Makarios' spiritual leadership and the enduring legacy of Mount Athos as an important center for Orthodox Christianity.
