The spiritual writings of the great Russian church writer, St. Theophan the Recluse, played an important role in the spiritual and moral enlightenment of society. The publication of these spiritual treasures was carried out by the monks of the Russian Panteleimon Monastery on Athos. This interaction brought abundant results. We can say that in the thousand-year history of Russian monasticism on Mount Athos in the 19th century. turned gold. The Russian monastery in the name of the Great Martyr Panteleimon, according to the psalmist David, “like a phoenix flourished, and the cedar tree like that in Lebanon multiplied” (Ps. 91:13). A low bow to the monks of the Russian monastery on Athos for all the spiritual treasures of our great enlightener - St. Theophan, which, thanks to the labors of the humble monks, became accessible to many people. We fully agree with the words of one Siberian hierarch: “Personally, I do not have the good fortune to know any of you (i.e. brethren of the monastery), but your holy ascetic life, your day and night prayers, your educational activities, which bring so much benefit to Russia, involuntarily draw both my soul and heart to you; my spirit often, often instills itself among you. I consider myself happy and remain forever grateful that my poor contributions were not thrown out of the precious wreath of your soul-helping publications, the wreath that embraces our entire Fatherland - publications read by Russia with extraordinary love and edification. Oh, continue, continue this great work..." 884. Nikon (Smirnov), abbot. The influence of Russian Athos on the spiritual life and enlightenment of Russia in the 19th century.
