Dive into the sanctity of Mount Athos with our collection of monastic recipes, centered around the holy trinity of bread, Prosphora, and Kollyva. Baking, for the Athonite monks, is not merely an act of sustenance but also a spiritual ritual. Our recipes feature bread, lovingly crafted with simple ingredients and baked to perfection. It serves as a humble testament to the monks' commitment to simplicity and self-sufficiency. Venture deeper into the religious traditions with Prosphora, the sacred bread used in the Orthodox liturgy. These recipes will guide you through its thoughtful preparation, leading to a blessed offering. Finally, we share the art of preparing Kollyva, a ritual food blessed and served during Orthodox memorial services. This sweet dish, typically made of boiled wheat, nuts, and raisins, symbolizes the promise of eternal life and resurrection.
