In free dining-rooms arranged by the Church of Greece 1,5 million of indigent Greek residents receive dinners daily. Every morning long queues are forming near the dining-rooms. Churches raise funds for these dining-rooms regularly and monasteries do what they can to help them.
The Vatopedi Monastery on the Holy mountain of Athos is making a considerable contribution by monthly donations of 50 thousand euros to the Archdiocese of Athens for free dining-rooms. To date, especially for this purpose the Vatopedi Monastery has transferred 800 thousand euros in total. But for all that, most of the Monastery’s accounts are remaining frozen because of the legal case concerning the ownership status of lake Vestonida, reports Sedmitza.ru with the reference to the Romphea agency.

Since you are here…
…we do have a small request. More and more people visit Orthodoxy and the World website.
However, resources for editorial are scarce.
In comparison to some mass media, we do not make paid subscription.
It is our deepest belief that preaching Christ for money is wrong.
Having said that, Pravmir provides daily articles from an autonomous news service,
weekly wall newspaper for churches, lectorium, photos, videos, hosting and servers.
Editors and translators work together towards one goal: to make our four websites possible -
Pravmir.ru, Neinvalid.ru, Matrony.ru and Pravmir.com. Therefore our request for help is understandable.
For example, 5 euros a month is it a lot or little?
A cup of coffee?
It is not that much for a family budget, but it is a significant amount for Pravmir.
If everyone reading Pravmir could donate 5 euros a month,
they would contribute greatly to our ability to spread the word of Christ,
Orthodoxy, life's purpose, family and society.
