Romanians and Mount Athos

For five centuries, the Romanian Principalities of Moldavia and Wallachia played a pivotal role as cultural and material supporters for Christian communities across the Balkan Peninsula and Near East. This volume, comprising 21 studies, delves into the intricate connections between Romanians and Mount Athos, exploring themes such as the Holy Mountain's general history, ties with specific Athonite monasteries, Romanian sketes, monastic life, saints linked to Romanian lands, pilgrimages from the 19th–20th centuries, artistic relations, and the administration of Romanian monasteries under Mount Athos. The research employs a multidisciplinary approach, integrating historical analysis, art history, and cultural studies to illuminate Romania's significant place in European and world history through its enduring relationship with Mount Athos.
