The world
No wonder
But there is a place
Prohibit any women from going to the island
Even female animals are banned
Since 1060
It is forbidden to go to any island here.
Never changed for over 900 years
Do you believe it?
Don’t believe it?
This island is
Holy Mountain of Greece – Mount Athos
In the Legends
Athos is a dry muse in ancient Greek mythology
Uranus and the son of Gaia
He cast a mountain to Zeus
Zeus was shot near Macedonia in northern Greece
It became the holy peak of Mount Athos
And the most beautiful scenery here.
Not a mountain, not a sea
But “man”
It is a veritable “man country” in the world.
You can see a few big characters on the pier of the island:
Mount Sanctuary, women banned
what? Do you want men to dress up as women?
Don’t think about it, it’s impossible
Here is a strong guard
Landing visitors
Must be on the only pier leading to the peninsula
Accept strict inspection
It is said that the inspection method is to open the underwear.
If caught, it will be whipped 16 times.
Then expel it
Amount…a simple and rude method
Plus harsh punishment
Who dares to sneak in?
The monastery was built on top of the cliff
There is only one entrance
Now the island allows visitors to enter
Foreign men can only come in 25 times a day.
Men who come in must also undergo gender checks
Must walk to
And it’s easy to get lost
Because the men’s country’s alert is very strict
Under the influence of traditional customs
The monks here are probably rare in the world.
a man who does not touch a woman for a lifetime
It’s here
About women’s clothing, accessories, photos, etc.
Are contraband
So really not even female animals?
In fact, the only thing I can see is the hen.
At that time, was the hen able to stay on the island?
Also caused a lot of controversy
Finally, everyone agreed to the presence of hens on the island.
After all, they also need to eat eggs.
The hen becomes the only privileged female
The man of Mount Athos, Greece, always wears black
Life without desire
This is more like a place to be isolated.
No troubles or joys and joys of life
Facing the sea
Residents of men’s countries may never have thought about
Breaking the existing state of life
They are not ready to meet new life.
There is almost no modern equipment here.
Everything with modern related tools is not
The only car is just for the purpose of travel.
And all musical instruments are strictly prohibited
No smoking, horse riding and singing
Do you think that life is boring?
The monk’s answer is:
Living here is worth it
It’s quiet but no worries here.
No trouble, don’t worry about anything
Despite living a life of isolation
But in exchange for a longer life
And, currently on the island
Still using the Julian calendar and Byzantine time
Every morning, the morning bells begin to burst into the morning prayer
The hymns come one after another, ending at 7:30 on time
When the sun goes down
The door of the monastery is about to close, holding a evening prayer
Their lives are divided into three parts on average:
Eight hours of prayer, eight hours of labor, eight hours of rest
If you are lucky enough to board the island
You will see the holy bedroom here
Real vegetarian, plenty of fresh water or fruit wine
Silently silent when entering the fast
There are lentil soup, fish, and salad on the table.
Baked bread, plus drinks
Everything is like the isolated Eden
