Pillars of Christian Orthodoxy

Greece
Region of Thessally
Meteora

The Meteora is a rock formation in central Greece hosting one of the largest and most precipitously built complexes of Eastern Orthodox monasteries, second in importance only to Mount Athos.[2] The six (of an original twenty four) monasteries are built on immense natural pillars and hill-like rounded boulders that dominate the local area. It is located near the town of Kalabaka at the northwestern edge of the Plain of Thessaly near the Pineios river and Pindus Mountains.
During the Byzantine Empire (315-1453 AC) many emperors ended their life as monks in the monasteries asking for repentance and grace from God.
