Elder Nektarios is a monk who lives in a cell near Karyes. He is over 80 years old. He has a brother Christopher with him, a peer. They have a tractor with a carriage to go up to Karyes to make their supplies.
Every Sunday morning (04:00 am) they go to Protatos, the main church of Mount Athos for service, because they are both simple monks.
I met them, say Elder Anastasis, on a Sunday morning on foot.
-What's happening Elder? Did the tractor break down ? "
And I received the following answer ...
-Tractor? With the tractor in the church? Never! After the angel counts the steps we take to reach the church for the service...
What can I answer now ....
