Leimonos Monastery
A concise and informative portrait of the Patriarchal and Stavropegic Leimonos Monastery, which since its foundation in 1526 has been a precious source of spiritual enlightment and the vital impulse behind much educational, economic and social activity in the wider Methimni region... We are given a brief introduction to the saints whose lives were touched by the Monastery; a guide to its monuments and its museum; a look at the manuscripts, documents and old prints kept in its library; we run our hands over some examples of its fine metalwork and feel a few of its gold-embroidered vestments... Through this guide the reader and pilgrim will become more intimately acquainted with the Leimonos Monastery in all its many and significant aspects.
