Video of St. Kosmas Aitolos monastery in Arnaia, Halkidiki, Greece. This monastery commemorates the appearance of the Saint on Mt. Holemon on July 23, 1943. The monastery is raising money for completion of their Katholicon (main church). The video is in Greek, but has nice views of the monastery that will be of interest to all.
ABOUT ORTHODOX MONASTERIES
This video shows excerpts from the 60 Minutes episode on Mt. Athos, a center of Orthodox Monasticism. There are other Orthodox monasteries located around the world.

One of our projects is to help fund a church dedicated to St. Paisios, a modern Orthodox saint. It will be located at Koutloumousiou monastery on Mt. Athos, where the saint was a monk.
