A little while ago, we returned from the Holy Mountain. In fact, we left the day the president of Russia arrived! It was useful to be on the Holy Mountain with the new map, and to get helpful comments, input, and suggestions – most of which will be included in future issues of the map.
A visit to the Holy Mountain – Mount Athos, in November 1944
