Simonepetra Monastery Holy Mountain Province, Greece.Pilgrimage to Holy Mountain
Some twenty years ago I undertook a long pilgrimage as a proxy for two women.
Santiago was the desired pilgrimage goal of an elderly German woman who felt she was too old to make the trip herself and Holy Mountain was the goal of a Greek Orthodox woman, who needed a male to make her pilgrimage because no women are allowed to visit Holy Mountain province, Greece.
I began the pilgrimage on foot in England and continued by bicycle from Germany. In this next series of blogs I would like to describe some of the things I experienced and learned in the Holy Mountain portion of the pilgrimage.
