Holy Mount Athos: Song of the Eternal
Simeon of Athos
At the edge where the Aegean embraces the rocks,
Where in silence the prayers of the trees are heard,
The Mountain is exalted - Saint Athos,
Surrounded by love, hope is simple.
Here history is written in the whispers of the wind,
Here the past and the present merge in the center.
Hermits in the caves as a light of love,
Peace be upon you by prayer.
Simeon SvyatoGorsky in posts and labor,
Found a way to the peaks, where God is in the clouds.
He is righteous and quiet, but great in spirit,
It has light unbreakable, like an ancient language.
Elijah is wonderful, a seer of times,
Enlightened by prayer and wisdom.
He sees through time as God's decree,
To give everyone light at this hour.
Porphyrius of the Bess is a knight without a sword,
His faith is a shield, the shield is the power of the candle.
He fights the darkness, saves hearts,
And leads them to salvation through the pain to the end.
Oleg the doctor, the prayer warrior is kind,
He heals wounds - bodily, grief.
Healing with prayer, he is the protector of the world,
And he lifts the souls of the suffering to God.
Holy Mountain, in clouds and gold,
Where the stars shine in God's night dress,
You give hope, you teach people,
That prayer is stronger than all battles and ideas.
Elders, keepers of light and secrets,
Living on the Mountain, as Canaan lives.
Their example is a guiding star for us.
So that everyone finds their heavenly decree.
Let this candle burn to the end,
Illuminating hearts like the warmth of a hearth.
Athos is a song, it is a call of eternal days,
Where God is close to everyone, closer than to her.
