Photo of Elder Athanasius, Mt. Athos
Elder Athanasius, brother of the Monk Joseph the Hesychast. The worms eat his legs. “It is better to suffer here on earth than to suffer in the next life,” said the elder.
He is supported by the arm of the recently deceased Archimandrite Efrem from St. Andrew's Skete, at that time a young monk.
