The historic sacred Koutloumousiano cell of “Great Holy Virgin Mary – Megalis Panagias” which was dedicated to the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, is located 1.5 km southeast of Koutloumousiou Monastery, in Mount Athos. You may read more in our blog...

Nowadays, in the sacred cell of Holy Virgin lives Elder Evlogios with his disciple. The fathers effort is the restoration of the cell, as it had been abandoned for over 50 years and it was in very bad condition. From the main complex of the cell only the half-ruined church survives, leading the monks to live in an outbuilding area of ​​100 sqm, which has been refurbished with great effort.

Today the main concern of the monks is the construction of a church (in the name of St. Parthenius) to serve their duties as the main temple does not work. The road to restoration of the cell is long and requires hard work. But Virgin Mary – Benefactress has proven during all this time from when the fathers entered the cell that she is the housekeeper and leader of the restoration of her home.

In order to enhance this effort, the monks of the cell prepare with love pure frankincense named "ATHONIKON", which they offer through Oramaworld. We invite you to support their efforts of restoration by trying their incense and becoming benefactors of the cell.
