This place is incredible! To see buildings that have stood for so long is mind boggling! The architecture is remarkable it's self! The Aegean..Wow Vic! Thanks👍🙋🕊️
ThankYou so very much for filming the Monastary!! I'm very surprised they allowed you to even go within the gates, let alone film the interiors of the walls... I think that is a great honour to be allowed in there... Thankyou!! I do truly appreciate all the work you do filming all these special places....🙂 I live in Washington State USA and have never been 2 Europe.. Thankyou so much GOD BLESS YOU & 😁🙂 HAPPY HOLIDAYS !! Thankyou
I'm amazed you received permission to videotape this monastery, but I'm certainly glad you did. What an astonishing, historic place to visit. Edit: Vic, you are so respectful and polite, I can't imagine them turning you down.
Thank you for your comments my friend! I was careful not to videotape the monks (this is why on a couple of occasions you see them around and I had to turn the camera towards another direction) and that kept me out of trouble
I often watch Vic's Videos more than once as i just did , its amazing to think that this monastery was already centuries old and my country still had more than 500 years to go before it was settled by Europeans , it puts perspective on our place in history
Wow. I cant believe I am seeing this place for the first time today. This place looks like something from a movie or a videogame. Thank you for filming this, Vic. I am a history nut too, and your history videos are top shelf.
Those beautiful frescoes! They were the videotape of the time , telling stories and the history of holy events in pictures for all to see One has to remember in those days very few of the people could read and it was the monks who wrote down the history of the country they lived in all of course overseen by the religious leaders Amazing video vic
Thank you for your comments. It would be worthwhile to mention that the monks maintained the Greek language (spoken and written) when Greece was under the Turks for over 400 years..
BEUTIFUL VIDEO FROM MONH IVHRON, AYIOU OROUS! I AM PROUD FOR MY SON FATHER LEODIOS , THAT HE DESIDED TO SERVE ALL OF HIS LIFE TO THE MOTHER OF GOD, MARY , WHICH THE NAME OF THE MONASTERY WAS DEDICATED TO HER GRACE !
Hi Maria, I may have met father Leodios when I was there!! I a glad that you liked the video and I hope that it gave you an idea of the beauty of the monastery where your son decided to dedicate his life in serving God!
PEACE IS EVERY STEP.................stunning 📹.......:( can't go..:(....😇...............thnks sooo much for sharing & your knowledge.. .. .......👀👀👀👀👀👀👍✋❤🌏🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞👣
whenever i want to "travel" i just upload some of your many videos....you must love culture very much and your joy and knowledge you readily share...just the best
I do apologies for my fellow compatriots. They are too hot-tempered. Huge love and strong respect from Georgia! By the way this is the name old Greeks gave us as they saw us as farmers and this is our widely known exonym (our endonym is Kartvelians). Yes Monastery of Iviron was founded by Georgian monks, John the Iberian and Tornike(Tornikios) in the 10th century AD. Panagia Portaitissa - Iviron Theotokos is the guard of the holy Mount Athos and to whom Georgia(Iveria) is dedicated. We are proud and humble at the same time. Lord Jesus Christ Son of God have mercy upon me a sinner.
iveria is georgian name georgia was iveria long times ago and monastery was named iveron beacuse georgian built monastery and greece ocupied it there is grave of georgian monks who built that monastery ioane and eqvtime
Don't falsify history, it was a Georgian monastery, after the Russian emperor abolished the Patriarchate of Georgia, the Greeks took advantage and illegally appropriated it. They deliberately tried to erase the Georgian traces, for example in 1883 they tried to erase the names of the Georgian kings on the murals. Destroy a lot of Georgian books from the library. You are appropriators of other cultures. We will definitely be back
This is a Greek monastery (not Georgian as claimed(, established by two Georgian monks around 980AD. Today, the monastery has about 30 working monks and novices, none of whom are Georgian.

Hi, thank you for this information and for watching my videos!! 👍👍👍
Ar fi posibil sa fie titrat în lb.romana? Multumesc!
Nu este o manastire romaneasca, este o manastire de la poporul Georgiei
@@VicStefanu Stiu, am fost in 2010 si 2013. Era bine daca era titrat in lb. romana.
@@neculaivlad4128 Bine, mulțumesc!
georgian monasetry iveron !
Hello, thank you for watching my videos!! 👍👍👍
go to ancient Egypt and do videos there and explore there please. but after all that said, great video
Hello, thank you for your comments!!
this monastery were Established By Georgians (Iberians) Monks
True, thank you for your comments!
True. Hence the name: Iberion > Iverion > Iviron... based on Greek orthography.
Funny how clerics through the ages always seem to bag the nicest locations.
Hello, thank you for your comments!!
It is not thats it is the nicest spot,it's just untouched by ppl for hundreds of years
Who are the four satanists who gave this a thumbs down??
Incredible, isn't it??
athon iverion monastery is georgian old monastery in greece!!!
No Georgian monks there anymore..
georgian monastery !!
Yes.. Hello, thank you for watching my videos!!
i was there in 1996--and i said to my self this is were i want to die
Similar thoughts crossed my mind as I was walking around this beautiful place...
The Georgian Iviron Monastery of mount Athos, which was illegally appropriated by the Greeks and is not being returned
Very interesting, thank you for these comments!!
iveria is georgian name georgia was iveria long times ago and monastery was named iveron beacuse georgian built monastery and greece ocupied it there is grave of georgian monks who built that monastery ioane and eqvtime
Greece did not occupy a monastery for the simple reason that it was already in Greece....
Don't falsify history, it was a Georgian monastery, after the Russian emperor abolished the Patriarchate of Georgia, the Greeks took advantage and illegally appropriated it.

it's georgian monastery ever1 must know that its not greece monastery! you must know real history
