Queen of Greece to
Overrule Monks on
Holy Mount Athos
VIENNA, Dec. 21 Tho Neucs Tageblatfs
Athens correspondent says Queen Olgn
of Orceco Intends to visit the twenty-one
monasteries on Mount Athos, eighty miles
to the southeast of Halonlkl, thus break
ing the rule prohibiting women to visit
the sacred mountain which had been
strictly observed for 1,600 years.
"Tho monks on the mountain," con
tinues the correspondent, "on many oc
casions have refused to permit royal
ladles to tlirtt them, always nxcustng
themselves behind the legend that tho
Virgin Mary with her Infant Christ vl
Ited the mountain and that dio woman
had been allowed) to do so since. But
now that the Greeks have conquered the
territory and the king and queen pro
posed a visit to the mountain, the monks
summoned their council and decided that
tlicy had no course but to rescind tho
rule."
Mount Athos, or the Holy mountain,
was the center of Greek theology and
learning In the middle nges and many
masterpieces of 'ancient Greek literature
still remain In the libraries there. The
Turkish government gave the monks al
most comploto autonomy. Aside from tho
twenty-one monasteries on the mountain
there arc numerous grottos, cells and
chapels. The monk population numbers
several thousand. Many of them aro
hermits and live In caves.
