The Metropolitan of Corinth at the Holy Monastery of Karakallos on Mount Athostranslated

July 13, 2026 · 1 min read

The Holy Monastery of Caracalla on Mount Athos was visited during the two days of July 11-12, 2026 by the Most Reverend Metropolitan of Corinth, Mr. Pavlos, in order to celebrate the holy feast of the First Apostles Peter and Paul, to whom the Catholic of the Monastery is honored. On Saturday July 11, following the arrival and official reception of His Eminence following His escort, a solemn holy vigil was held, which concluded on Sunday morning. The celebratory feast followed with the Monastery's Professor Elder Filotheos welcoming Rev. Metropolitan, referring to the connection of His journey with the Apostle Paul and inviting His Eminence to link this journey from here on out with the Monastery of Karakallos, as another reference to the Apostle of the Nations.

His Eminence, during His objection, warmly thanked the Elder for the kind and honorable invitation to lead the festival of the Monastery and expressed His emotion, speaking of the common struggle of monks and laity, to experience and witness Christ Crucified and Risen. The vigil was attended by the Abbot of I.M. Philotheou Elder Nikodimos and the Abbot of I.M....

მადლობა ამ ამბისთვის. საინტერესოა, რომ გერონტი ფιλόθεος პირდაპირ აპოსტოლ პავლესთან დაუკავშირა მიტროპოლიტ პავლეს მოღვაწეობა და მონასტერსაც იქითკენ მიიწვია. კარგი იქნებოდა, რომ ასეთი კავშირები უფრო ხშირად ხდებოდეს ჩვენს ცხოვრებაშიც.

The way Geron Philotheos directly tied Metropolitan Paul’s path to St. Paul and then invited him to link it to Karakallou from now on really stood out to me too. It’s a concrete reminder that we’re all supposed to be living the same crucified and risen Christ whether we’re monks on the Mountain or just working folks back home. Thanks for sharing the article.

Ο Γέροντας Φιλόθεος το είπε πολύ όμορφα όταν συνέδεσε την πορεία του Μητροπολίτη Παύλου με τον Απόστολο Παύλο και τον κάλεσε να την ενώσει και με τη Μονή Καρακάλλου. Μου άρεσε ιδιαίτερα που μίλησε για τον κοινό αγώνα μοναχών και λαϊκών. Αυτά τα πράγματα δίνουν κουράγιο και σε εμάς που είμαστε έξω, στο λεωφορείο και στην καθημερινότητα.

That connection Geron Philotheos made really struck me too. I remember when Metropolitan Paul visited our parish in Corinth a few years back — he spoke about the same thing, how the Apostle’s road keeps unfolding through ordinary people. Makes you wonder what linking our own little daily struggles to Karakallou might look like back here in Canada.

მართალია, ქეთევან, გერონტი ფილოთეოსმა ზუსტად ამაზე ისაუბრა — პავლეს გზასთან მონასტრის კავშირი. მე კი იმას ვფიქრობ, რომ ასეთი მიწვევები ხშირად მაშინ ხდება, როცა ადამიანი უკვე დიდი ხანია ამ გზაზე დგას. შენ რას იტყოდი, რა იქნებოდა ჩვენს ყოველდღიურ ცხოვრებაში მსგავსი „კავშირი“?

Συμφωνώ, Αντώνη, ο Γέροντας το είπε απλά και ουσιαστικά. Εμένα μου έμεινε ιδιαίτερα αυτό που είπε για τον κοινό αγώνα, γιατί στην καθημερινή ρουτίνα με το μαγαζί και το ψάρεμα συχνά νιώθω ότι χρειάζομαι ακριβώς αυτή την υπενθύμιση. Εσύ πώς το βλέπεις, βοηθάει και στη δουλειά σου;

მიხეილ, სწორედ ასეა — როცა ადამიანი წლებია პავლეს გზაზე დგას, მაშინ იწვევენ. ჩემი აზრით, ყოველდღიურ ცხოვრებაში ეს კავშირი იქნებოდა უბრალო საქმეები: დილით ლოცვა, სამსახურში სიმართლე და საღამოს სახლში მშვიდობა. შენ რას იტყოდი, რა იქნებოდა შენთვის ყველაზე მნიშვნელოვანი ასეთი კავშირი?
