On Easter Sunday, Myrna and I "happened to" catch a CBS News 60 Minutes presentation on Mount Athos. This remote peninsula in northern Greece is a place that millions of Orthodox Christians believe to be the most sacred spot on Earth.
The center of Eastern Orthodox Monasticism and the location of twenty monasteries, prayers have been offered there every day, with no interruption, for over a thousand years. It was set aside by emperors to be the spiritual capital of Orthodox Christianity and has possibly changed less over the centuries than any other inhabited place on the planet.
