Mt. Athos - Holy Mountain №︎ 9 - a photo on Flickriver

            Pantokratoros monastery (abbey). A shot of the northernmost part of the abbey’s courtyard: On the left, the west side of the abbey’s buildings are viewed, including the 7-storey soaring tower; on the right, the westernmost part of the katholikon’s south side is viewed. The katholikon (the main church) of the monastery is consecrated to the Transfiguration of our Saviour, Jesus Christ. The katholikon was erected c.1363; it is of the three-apsed, Athonite architectural type of Inscribed Cross, but with the additional features; it is roofed with lead.

Pantocrator means Almighty, Omnipotent, All-Powerful or Ruler of All Universes. The theological meaning or concept of this word goes infinitely further and deeper than a specific depiction in Christian iconography (the Christ Pantocrator icon). The monastery was erected earlier than in 1357 AD.
