Foto de stock - Feb. 28, 2012 - Militant Monks On Mount Athos... In the Esphigmenou monastery on Mount Athos in the North of Greece 40 monks are refusing to comply with the decision of the ecumenical orthodox Patriarch in Constantinopel. These monks are known to be the rebellious core of the 'Zealots' who stick to an extreme traditionalism. It actually all started in 1924, when the autonomous Greek orthodox church decided to conform to the Gregorian calendar, like the rest of the Christian western world and abandoned the Julian calendar. This split the Greek orthodox church in two, although both considered the Patriarch in Constantinopal their head. The calendar problem came to a head when the orthodox church began to open towards the West and the schism between the Roman Catholic church and Constantinopal which existed since 1054 was abolished in 1965 and when Pope Paul VI visited Constantinople in 1967 and the ecumenical orthodox patriarch Athenagoras returned this visit by going to Rome in the same year, the 'Zealots' refused to include the orthodox patriarch in their prayers. In the course of these events the 'Zealots' began to concentrate in four monasteries on Athos and started disobeying orders. The Athos monks refused to admit three delegations, so in March this year stern measures were served on the disobeying monks, including the removal of the Abbot Athanasius and many other senior brothers. The patriarch decision actually triggered the fierce reactions by the 'Zealots' who made the Esphibmenou monastery their headquarters and counteracted by closing the gates and cutting themselves off from the outside world. The self-confined 'Zealots' insist on the withdrawal of the patriarch's decision and the abbots and monks who are expelled from the Athos by the verdict found refuge from the seizure of the executing authorities at the monastery with the 'Zealots' who hoisted a black flag from their belfry and wrote on their banner, 'Orthodoxy or death'...
