Island of the Apocalypse, of bare rocks and bays, crowned by the grey crenellated walls of a huge, grim monastery. Patmos has 37 monks besides 2000 inhabitants, 600 chapels, and a 100.000 tourists in summer… Still ancient Patmos weathers the onslaught of tourism in many unique ways. The monks, all 'local boys', who watch their parents till the soil and brothers sail the seas, carefully guard the integrity of their island and its community, from behind the great cloister walls. As if standing on the bridge of a ship, steering it through the tempest of time.

    Thank you for this most beautiful collection of Divine and Heart felt experiences. Such a gift to see the Monastery where Saint John The Theologian had such close contact with The Blessed Trinity and wrote His Divine Words regarding the Apocalypse . I could never dream of visiting Patmos, especially in these times, so the Blessing of this Presentation is so very much appreciated. What an exceptional place Patmos is. I really enjoyed hearing that families are together there and to witness the ordination of the Priest. My Heart is so filled with Love and Gratitude. Truly Christ is Risen!!!

    The English-speaking narrator omitted purposedly what the Greek monk said: "Everything in the Book of Revelation is coming true!!!"
