Mount Athos (/ˈæθɒs/; Greek: Ἄθως, [ˈa.θos]) is a mountain in the distal part of the eponymous Athos peninsula and site of an important centre of Eastern Orthodox monasticism in northeastern Greece. The mountain along with the respective part of the peninsula have been governed as the monastic community of Mount Athos, an autonomous region within the Hellenic Republic, ecclesiastically under the direct jurisdiction of the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople. Mount Athos has been inhabited since ancient times and is known for its long Christian presence and historical monastic traditions, which date back to at least AD 800 and the Byzantine era.

The Autonomous Monastic State of Mount Athos (abbr.: Mount Athos) is a self-governing part of the Greek State, located on the Athos peninsula of Chalkidiki, in Macedonia. It includes the twenty Holy Monasteries, their dependencies and various shops and services. Its status and mode of operation are determined in detail, in parallel with the Constitution of Greece, by the Statutory Charter of Mount Athos (K.CHAO.) of May 10, 1924.

Intellectually it is under the direct jurisdiction of the Ecumenical Patriarchate. Since 1988 it has been included in the list of World Cultural Heritage Monuments.

The Athos peninsula is the easternmost and most rugged of the three parallel peninsulas (Kassandra or Pallini, Sithonia or Longos – central, and Athos or Agios Oros, ancient Greek: Akti) that make up the peninsula of Halkidiki. This peninsula is covered by Mount Athos, 2033 m high, hence its name, and ends at the cape Nymphaeo or Akrothon.

Monastic institutions
The monastic institutions of Mount Athos are distinguished into six classes: the Holy Monasteries, the Sketes, the Cells, the Kalyves, the Kathismata and the Hermitages.

Holy Monasteries

Mount Athos consists of twenty Holy Monasteries. According to the hierarchical order, the Holy Monasteries of Mount Athos, also called Athonite, which are self-governing and governed according to their internal regulations, which they vote for themselves and are approved by the Holy Community, are the following:

Holy Monastery of the Great Lavra (963)
Holy Monastery of Vatopedi (972)
Holy Monastery of Iveron (976)
Holy Monastery of Chilandari (1197)
Holy Monastery of Dionysios (1375)
Holy Monastery of Koutloumousios (12th century)
Holy Monastery of Pantokratoros (1363)
Holy Monastery of Xeropotamos (11th century)
Holy Monastery of Zografos (919)
Holy Monastery of Dochiarios (11th century) century)
Holy Monastery of Karakallos (1070)
Holy Monastery of Philotheos (992)
Holy Monastery of Simonos Petras (1363)
Holy Monastery of Saint Paul (11th century)
Holy Monastery of Stavronikita (1542)
Holy Monastery of Xenophon (1070)
Holy Monastery of Gregory (14th century)
Holy Monastery of Esphigmenos (11th century)
Holy Monastery of Saint Panteleimon (11th century)
Holy Monastery of Konstamonitos (1086)

All the Holy Monasteries of Mount Athos are religious spiritual institutions and all are characterized as “Sovereign”, “Royal”, “Patriarchal” and “Stavropegic”.

Sovereign because they maintain ownership and organizational self-government of their area, not subject to any limitation as to the number of monks.
Royal because their establishment was due to the order or assistance of the Byzantine Emperors or their establishment was ratified by an imperial gold decree.
Patriarchal were later named with the issuance of patriarchal relevant sigils, when they were associated with the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople, which assumed their spiritual and only supervision.
Stavropegic because during their establishment a cross was placed on them, which was sent by the Ecumenical Patriarchate.

Historical documents regarding the history of ancient Mount Athos are few. We are certain that monks were already there since the 4th century. During this period, both Christians and pagans lived. After the Islamic conquest of Egypt in the 7th century, many monks from the Egyptian desert tried to find another home, and some of them came to the Athos peninsula. In 866, John Kolovos built the first monastic center, Megali Vigla. From then on, Mount Athos became the land of monastic life. In 958 AD, the monk Athanasius the Athonite arrived on Mount Athos from the Monastery of Xerolimna in Asia Minor. In 962, the large central church of the “Prototatus” was built in Karyes. The following year, with the support of Emperor Nikephoros Phocas, the monastery of the Great Lavra was founded, the largest and most important of the 20 monasteries that exist today.

From Byzantium, the Orthodox faith spread to the Balkans, and monks from these lands arrived on Mount Athos to found monasteries. Georgian monks founded the monastery of Iviri (976), the Serbs the monastery of Chilandari (1197), and the Bulgarians the monastery of Zografou (1270).
During the first two centuries of this period, more than 180 monasteries were founded with over 20,000 monks. Later, most were destroyed by the Crusades and pirates. Even these emperors built monasteries. The Christian kings of the Balkans also supported Mount Athos. The Russians founded and supported monasteries.
In 1926, Mount Athos became a self-governing part of the Greek state according to the Treaty of Lausanne (1924). According to this, it is dependent on the Patriarchate of Constantinople and supervised by Greece.

MadeinMycountry Belize: Caribbean dream destination!

Belize is a country on the north-eastern coast of Central America. It is bordered by Mexico to the north, the Caribbean Sea to the east, and Guatemala to the west and south. It also shares a maritime boundary with Honduras to the southeast. Belize is a member of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM), and is considered part of the Caribbean region and the historical British West Indies.

The Belize Barrier Reef turned 10,000 years old on June 8, 2022, and Belize is celebrating the longevity of this natural wonder by pledging to continue preserving it for generations today and those to come. The second-largest barrier reef in the world, it extends the full length of Belize, forming an enormous lagoon along its coast and protecting its shores from large waves, even during extreme weather. This also creates an ideal habitat for a wide variety of oceanic creatures, from rock-like living coral to endangered sea turtles to over 500 species of fish in every color of the rainbow.

MadeinMycountry is a global platform that celebrates and supports local history, culture, art, and nature conservation efforts. For two decades, we have been sponsoring local museums, cultural organizations, travel destinations, historical sites and various cultural events around the world.

Belize has committed to preserving a full 30% of its oceanic territory— over 10,000 square kilometers, including each of its seven marine protected areas. Combined with other efforts like a total ban on single-use plastics taking effect in 2022, this has made Belize a leader in conservation in the Caribbean and, truly, the world.

Belize’s Barrier Reef has long drawn SCUBA divers, snorkelers and fisherman from across the globe, so it’s no surprise it was named a UNESCO world heritage site in 1996. The region is also home to 3 of only 4 atolls in all of the Atlantic Ocean, numerous patch reefs that dot the offshore waters and the world-famous “Great Blue Hole” as well. Belize is an aquatic wonderland that Charles Darwin himself once called “the most remarkable reef in the West Indies,” and Belize aims to keep it that way!

MadeinMycountry Caribbean sea

The Caribbean Sea is a sea of the North Atlantic Ocean in the tropics of the Western Hemisphere. It is bounded by the Greater Antilles to the north from Cuba to Puerto Rico, the Lesser Antilles to the east from the Virgin Islands to Trinidad and Tobago, South America to the south from the Venezuelan coastline to the Colombian coastline, and Central America and the Yucatan Peninsula to the west from Panama to Mexico.

The Caribbean Sea is one of the largest seas on Earth and has an area of about 2,754,000 km2 (1,063,000 sq mi). The Caribbean Sea has the world’s second-largest barrier reef, the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef. It runs 1,000 km (620 mi) along the Mexico, Belize, Guatemala, and Honduras coasts.

The region around the Caribbean Sea, including the numerous islands of the West Indies and adjacent coastal areas in the mainland of the Americas, is known as the Caribbean.

The Caribbean is the home of about 9% of the world’s coral reefs, covering about 50,000 km2 (19,000 sq mi), most of which are located off the Caribbean islands and the Central American coast. Among them, the Belize Barrier Reef stands out, with an area of 963 km2 (372 sq mi), which was declared a World Heritage Site in 1996. It forms part of the Great Mayan Reef (also known as the MBRS) and, being more than 1,000 km (600 mi) in length, is the world’s second longest. It runs along the Caribbean coasts of Mexico, Belize, Guatemala and Honduras.

Since 2005, unusually warm Caribbean waters have been increasingly threatening the coral reefs. Coral reefs support some of the most diverse marine habitats in the world, but they are fragile ecosystems. When tropical waters become unusually warm for extended periods of time, microscopic plants called zooxanthellae, which are symbiotic partners living within the coral polyp tissues, die off.

These plants provide food for the corals and give them their color. The result of the death and dispersal of these tiny plants is called coral bleaching and can lead to the devastation of large areas of reef. More than 42% of corals are completely bleached, and 95% are experiencing some type of whitening. Historically, the Caribbean is thought to contain 14% of the world’s coral reefs.
