ATHOS LETTERS AND ARTS

Literary references to Athos, books, poetry, prose.

A forum for the presentation and discussion of books written by Athonite monks.

A forum dedicated to the **Kollyvades movement**, the vital eighteenth-century Athonite renewal that championed fidelity to the patristic tradition, frequent participation in the Eucharist, hesychastic prayer, and sacramental depth. Here we explore the historical origins, principal figures, and theological principles of the Kollyvades, as well as their influence on later Orthodox spirituality and practice. Discussion includes how their insistence on tradition and experiential theology informs contemporary issues such as liturgical life, identity, and questions surrounding ecumenism within the Orthodox world.
