Mt. Athos - Holy Mountain №︎ 10 - a photo on Flickriver

            Pantokratoros monastery (abbey). A shot of the abbey’s holy water phialē, octagonal, made of marble, roofed with lead and looking like a pavilion.

Behind the phialē, one can see the katholikon (the abbey’s main church), roofed with lead, too, erected c.1363. On the left, the west side of the abbey’s buildings is viewed, including the 7-storey soaring tower.

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.
