Magnificent Monasteries photos in Meteora

Magnificent Monasteries photos in Meteora

The caves in Meteora, Greece, had inhabitants for fifty millennia, but due to raids, “hermit monks” moved to the safety of sandstone rock pinnacles in the 9th century and began building monasteries. More monks and nuns came, building more monasteries perched high upon the cliffs. Wikipedia reports, “Access to the monasteries was originally (and deliberately) difficult, requiring either long ladders lashed together or large nets used to haul up both goods and people. This required quite a leap of faith — the ropes were replaced, so the story goes, only ‘when the Lord let them break.’” UNESCO World Heritage says, “The net in which intrepid pilgrims were hoisted up vertically alongside the 1,224 ft. cliff where the Varlaam monastery dominates the valley symbolizes the fragility of a traditional way of life that is threatened with extinction.” Photo #1 by Vaggelis Vlahos

A view of Meteora monasteries in Greece. You can’t see them all, but if you squint and turn your head just so…you can make out these: On the far left, perched precariously upon a cliff is the Nunnery of Roussanou; in the middle is the Village of Kastraki; the high rock to the right of the village is Doubiani Rock; to the right of that is the Monastery of St. Nicholas Anapafsas; and on the upper right is the Great Meteora Monastery. Nowadays there are staircases carved into the rocks. Only 6 monasteries are still intact, and of those, only Holy Monastery of St. Stephen is inhabited by nuns. Photo #2 by Gabriele Quaglia

The Holy Monastery of St. Stephen is the only monastery in Meteora that was not built high upon a cliff. Instead, this small church is considered build upon a “plain” in the 16th century and decorated in 1545. During WWII, the Nazis became convinced that St. Stephen’s was harboring insurgents; the Nazis attacked and damaged the monastery. It was abandoned until nuns took it over and reconstructed it.

The Holy Monastery of Varlaam in Meteora. The photographer wrote, “Varlaam was a hermit who first lived on this pinnacle of rock about 1350, delving a few cells and building a small church to the Three Taxiarchs. In 1548 the current monastery was built under the direction of the brothers Theofanis and Nectarios Apsarades from Ioannina, who devoted their family’s wealth to the project. The stairs giving access to the building were only built in 1923, breaking the centuries-old isolation of the monastery.” Photo #7 by Gabriele Quaglia
