Athos (or simply the Holy Mountain) is the world's largest center of male Orthodox monasticism, located in the northeastern part of Greece on the peninsula of the same name (part of a larger peninsula called Chalkidiki), washed by the waters of the Aegean Sea. According to legend, Christianity was preached on Mount Athos by Sama herself. Holy Mother of God, who accepted this land as a “sustainment” - a place of Her special care. From the very beginning of the history of Athos monasticism, women were prohibited from entering the peninsula.

There is no reliable information about the time of the appearance of the first monks on Mount Athos. The first known Athonite ascetic is St. Peter (beginning of the 9th century), who led a hermit’s life, like most of Athonite monks of that time. By the end of the 10th century, cenobitic monasticism had already predominated on Athos. It was started by the Monk Athanasius of Athos. He built a monastery, which was later called the Great Lavra and became the main monastery of Mount Athos.

Many traditions of monastic work were brought to the Russian land precisely from Athos. The founder of the Kiev-Pechersk monastery, the Monk Anthony, took monastic vows in the Athos monastery of Esphigmen. The abbot of this monastery received a revelation from God that St. Anthony will gather a great host of monastics in Rus', so he said: “Antony! Go back to the Russian land - let those living there prosper through you and become established in the Christian faith; May the blessing of the Holy Mountain be with you!” St. Anthony returned to Kyiv and settled in a cave, where disciples began to gather around him and a great monastery grew, which became the “cradle of Russian monasticism.”

The first written evidence of the existence of a Russian monastery on the Holy Mountain dates back to 1016. One of the documents of the Great Lavra is dated this year, on which there are signatures of all the abbots and, including the abbot of the Russian monastery: “Gerasim the monk, by the grace of God, the presbyter and abbot of the monastery of Rosov, testifying, signed with his own hand.”

This Russian monastery was called Xilurgu (which means “Woodmaker” or “Carpenter”). The name is probably due to the fact that Russian monks built their first temples from wood, unlike the Greeks who preferred stone. The cathedral church of this monastery is consecrated in honor of the Dormition of the Mother of God. It dates from the beginning of the 11th century; this is one of the most ancient temples on the Holy Mountain.

When the number of monks in Xylurgu increased, the Russian monastery moved to a new location: in 1169, the main Russian monastery on Mount Athos became the monastery in honor of St. Panteleimon, located high in the mountains. Now this monastery is known as Nagorny or Old Rusik.

Constant raids on Athos by various conquerors mercilessly ruined it. Another disaster that often threatened the monasteries was fires. In one of the strong fires of the 13th century, all the property of Old Rusik and manuscripts telling about early period his stories. The restoration of the monastery was helped by the Byzantine emperor Andronikos II Palaiologos, who in 1312, with a special charter, secured the rights of the Russian monastery to land in Thessaloniki and the Chalkidiki peninsula.

In subsequent times, the Russian Athos monastery either gained strength again or fell into desolation. But even in difficult times for Russia and Athos itself, Russian monks visited the Holy Mountain, receiving invaluable lessons in asceticism here. The Monk Nil of Sorsky (1433–1508), following the Athonite tradition, founded a new type of monastery for Rus' - a monastery - and drew up a special “Charter on the residence of a monastery”. The principles of Svyatogorsk asceticism were preached by a monk of the Athos Vatopedi monastery who came to Russia Reverend Maxim Greek (1470–1556).

The gradual revival of the Russian St. Panteleimon Monastery on Mount Athos began in the first half of the 19th century. By this time, the monastery was already in a new location - in the coastal zone. The spiritual revival of Rusik is associated with the works of Elder Gerasim of Athos, who became abbot in 1832 and established ties between the monastery and Russia. Since 1830, after Russia won the war with Turkey and Turkish troops liberated Athos, Russians again began to freely come to the Holy Mountain and take monasticism.

At the beginning of the 20th century, there were about two thousand monks in the St. Panteleimon Monastery and its monasteries (Xylurgu, Stary Rusik, etc.). The monastery's courtyards were established in Constantinople, Thessaloniki, Odessa and Moscow (the first Athos chapel was built in 1873 at the Epiphany Monastery on Nikolskaya Street). In 1875, the New Athos Simon-Kananitsky monastery was founded by the Athonites in Abkhazia.

In 2016, celebrations will be held on Athos in honor of the 1000th anniversary of the Russian presence on the Holy Mountain.

The spiritual poetry of Grand Duke Konstantin Konstantinovich Romanov (K.R.) and Count Alexei Konstantinovich Tolstoy is not only a pearl of Russian literature, but also a striking example of worldview in the tradition of the Holy Tradition of the Church.

LOCAL TOPIC:

"Tsarist Crimea" (Crimea under the Romanovs)

Crimea was the latter’s favorite place to stay Royal family. It was there that they wanted to spend the rest of their days after the overthrow of the monarchy. The rich and, as usual, difficult history of the peninsula was decorated with this deep affection of the royal house. The topic allows us to take an absentee trip to the Tsarist Crimea and try to understand what exactly aroused the royal sympathies and what Crimea itself received as a legacy from the kings who loved it.

The red thread in the tasks of all rounds the Olympics will take place also the theme of the XXVI International Educational Christmas Readings is “Morality and the Future of Humanity.”

Why upload lists of participants to the site:

So that schoolchildren can receive a certificate of participation in the All-Russian Olympiad;

So that the schoolchildren who showed good results, could take part in subsequent rounds of the Olympiad.

How to conduct a tour in the classroom, to whom to offer tasks and how much time to give to complete the tasks of the school tour?

We believe that it is best to conduct the Olympiad among students of the ENTIRE school, regardless of whether they have studied the subject or not. The guys, even if they don’t know the answers, will learn something new about the culture and history of our country as a result of the Olympiad.

The optimal time for a school tour is 45 minutes. Conducting the Olympiad will take one lesson, which can be either additional to the schedule or replace a lesson or class hour.

How to identify school tour winners?

For those participants (winners and runners-up of the school tour) who want to take further part in the municipal tour, the school tour will end on November 10! After this, it will no longer be possible to download lists of participants.
