http://www.pravmir.com/first-orthodox-monastery-opened-south-africa/ This Monastery just opened in South Africa. We visited it some years ago when it was in the preparation stages. One of the Clergy in the second pic is a relative of ours : ) |

That's pretty cool! My students were just asking the other day if monasteries still exist. I'll let them know! |

Do they still exist? Do they ever! There's the "Holy Mountain" - Mt. Athos - that is FULL of them https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rBJ50fFzoaM Here's a directory of the ones just in the US for men (the same site has a directory of women's monasteries) http://www.assemblyofbishops.org/directories/male-monasteries Here's a blog post about a favorite of mine in Cyprus http://stuffedveggies.blogspot.com/2013/10/a-virtual-visit-to-kykkos-monastery.html And Valaam in Russia (amongst many others) And more than I count in Cyprus. And you're not even touching the Catholic or Episcopal ones! Monasticism is alive & well - and *growing!* : ) |

With the difficulties in today's world, I can understand why people would seek the peace of a monastery. |
