Wow! No women are allowed there?! I honestly had no idea such a place existed 😱

[@WayfaringLibertarian]

It’s true! 😊 Mount Athos has been a male-only monastic community for over a thousand years. The ban on women is known as the “avaton.” It’s part of their tradition to help the monks focus on their spiritual practices 🙏🏼❤️✝️
