Mount Athos

The Skete of Prophet Elijah (Template:Lang-el) is a cenobitic skete of the Pantokratoros monastery in Mount Athos, Greece.

It was founded in 1759 by the ukrainian monk from Poltava Paisius Velichkovsky.[1] Within the complex are a main church (built 1903) and three chapels. There are also an extensive library and two icons reputedly with miraculous powers.[2] [3]
