Somewhere in the Sonoran desert between Tucson and Phoenix, a few monks from Mount Athos in Greece started building a monastery from scratch. In 20 years they have built four churches in different styles, artistically laid out gardens, fruit and olive groves, beautiful landscaping and chapels, gift store (bread, olives and olive oil) and support infrastructure for sleeping and dining 50 monks plus lot of monastic interns from all around the world! Amazing dedication, faith, peace and shining example of devotion. Truly an oasis of peace and tranquility!
