Villagers React To Mount Athos Greece ! Tribal People React To Mt. Athos Greece 

💙🇬🇷💙

Representative Democracy, physical fitness (Olympic), philosophy, Empire, Naval and Military warfare and a ton of others…

Totally agree! Very authentic!

@@TisDoulos "You tell us women are not allowed to see it, so definitely this thing is worth seeing" I love this guy 🤣

😂😂 he's the best.

Agree!

He has a name. It's Babu.

Me too! I loved this reaction.

god bless you end your loved!

I agree. I've lived in Greece and people there are not so open to other religions.

America is full of many religions, what do you mean they're not open? Each state may have it's own dominant religion

@@Elfdustify we gave you democracy ,what u mean in Greece are not so open?we gave you what u have today...what i mean from before is that ,even educated ppl are not so open mind

@@GPap-jw5sm Stop resting on your laurels. Having lived in Greece for many years was enough to realise that Ancient Greece and the modern state could not be more different. And believe me, I was not the only one with that opinion - my Greek friends share my views - or rather, I share theirs. It took me a while to see the narrow-mindedness and xenophobia- although it was not directed at me - as the majority of the population seem to think that some nations are apparently better. But even in ancient Greece not all open minds were welcome - remember Plato. I still love Greece though, despite the general disregard for fellow human beings and animals and nature.... just don't start me on this.

@@Elfdustify where you from?Albania?i can rest on my laurels because these are MY laurels,as you said..i have no xenophobia..Greeks teach you Philoxenia...how you say all these bullsh1t?u know Nothing about Greece..And if someone wants to join an other country he is free to go..or to come here in our Country..but you cant go to an other Country and demand from them to change their culture their religion their believes just for you to feel like you are back Home..you have to asimilate with the rules of the Country...if there is any connection to Xenophobia and what i mean with asimilation..then ok...its mental problem and i cannot help you more..to explain better..and sry for my English...i used to speak my Language...

Isnt it considered sovereign from Greece though?

@@kotetsu4820 It's part of Greece thousand of years now! It's separate due to religious reasons, but not is a foreign place.

@@bitter_truth8646 Yeah i know that it been Greek for a long time,i was only kinda confused about whether it is considered separate from Greece today(for example like the Vatican being separate from italy)

@@kotetsu4820 You are right. It is part of Greece but it's the only monastic state in the world. In other words it's souvereign

@@kotetsu4820 no. Its not a different state like vatican.

Really? They don’t do anything for their fellow man. Christ didn’t isolate himself on a mountain somewhere. He went out and helped people. These monks are basically like any other royalty. Engaging in generational land and wealth hoarding while they selfishly seek their own enlightenment.

@@benhaney9629 Protestant nonsense. Christ hide Himself also St. John the baptist. ALL GREAT SAINTS AND ELDERS. This whole social work nonsense is a protestant nonsense.

@@benhaney9629 The biggest, greatest and most important gift you can give to someone is to pray for them. And that's exactly what the monks there do for all the world, for all of us. Selflessly and with true, unconditional love.

It's not a sacrifice, it's a lifestyle

@@benhaney9629 You don't realize that even in the Days of Christ there were Isolated Monks - Recall the when Saul was made King, the men who worship God came down from the Mountain to meet him. Then during the time of David the Priests who Saul killed for helping him were in a similar monastery. During Christs time there were also such Priests and always have been - they give up all natural life, a wife, a family, shopping, going to a movie, and they spend their time offering this sacrifice up for us, praying for us, the people of God making amendment for our shortcomings and offering prayer and supplication and if you think that is like being in royalty your nuts. When John the Baptist was born He was born WITH the Holy Spirit and he was also like these men, isolated from society for the sake of the believers for the love of God.

Are men allowed to be there?

@@WitnessingTyranny Please keep your politics out of this. This 1000 years tradition and as adults we are obliged to respect this no matter our views and religion we follow.

@@XMichal95 remember that religion that went around killing everyone who didnt believe in it? Oh wait

@@XMichal95 not political. Ironic to worship a female but only males are allowed? I don't care how old it is. It's a tradition. Does not make it right.

@@XMichal95 It may be a tradition but it dosen't make it right.We humans are always offended by the truth,always were and always will.That just show how 2 faced we really are 👀

cool

*Neogreek And you are really just an American.

@@user-nf1zy6tf2o I can tell you are slavic (or maybe not, but not greek) Coz I know in your countries you don't accept people of the same ancestry born of different countries. But Greeks accept all Greeks as Greeks wherever they're born, they are very loving, and descent is the most important thing.

@@user-nf1zy6tf2o 100 percent Greek Cypriot born in America. Both parents from mainland. Technically I'm 100 percent Greek/Cypriot. My children are not 100%

@@louofm1 "100 percent Greek Cypriot" *Neogreek No you are actually just an American. Just like "Italian-Americans" are just really American with no real connection to Italy.

So they've abandoned the world and the life we had to worry about an invisible person? Shame on that man for not going to go see his dying father.

@@duncreg lol whatever he will see him once he dies

@@duncreg The funny part is that these people are probably happier and more content than the majority of the rest of the world.

@@duncreg still happier and livelier than you could ever be

These men are what Gramsci called a real intellectual. They are able to pick what matters in a story and show humanity and a real want of fraternity.

Since 30 years+ i spend my holidays in Halkidiki. I love the area, the people and the food. Sadly i've never visited Mt. Athos. Just go with a boat around it.

Yeah but to stay there forever makes no sense. Paul studied with a group like this but for only a few years and LSFT to go into the world to spread the word of God. God never said shut yourself off from the world, he meant don't do as they do in the world. This is sweet and cute but it is not God's way at all. The bible does not say shut yourself up but pour yourself out and help others and not shut yourself out from them.

@@giftedandblack494 yeah it's extreme but like i said, i'm an atheist, so i can't comprehend all this god stuff

really? because it seems pretty oppressive to me... but that's nice then

@@Cassxowary well of course it is, but what can we do? 😂 I mean, they went there willingly

Yes. But it's like Vatican, state on its own. But, sadly, under blackmailed Greek gouverment, in huge debts, and Ecumenical Patriarchy. Why they are forced to discuss gay marriages now, and why Esphigmenou monastery i going trough hardships, monks expelled, shunned, starved, beaten...for being "far right", too traditional Ortodox, outdated, all that nonsense they're trying to push onto all of us... May God give them strength in battle for preserving traditional Ortodox ways.

omnitrus - I visited there in 2006 on a pilgrimage. The experience was life changing.

@@jaycorby God blessed you richly for such an experience !I come from a Protestant background and can not learn enough of Orthodoxy . Thank you for your reply 🙏🙏🙏

@@omnitrus I became Orthodox Christian in 1969! My wife and I were married in the Roman Catholic Church in 1967 ( she was raised Protestant, I RC ). We both were disillusioned with the path Roman Catholicism was taking at that time, and decided to 'look around'. Eventually we found the 'pearl of great price'. We are now in our middle to late seventies, and have never regretted the decision we made so long ago to become part of Christ's Holy Church. Good luck in your 'search' - God will tell you when it's time.

@@jaycorby If it was easier to become a member of the Orthodox church ,we will do it so willingly .We listen to teachings nearly every day if possible .We feel we are Orthodox in our hearts .Pray for us please .Thank you so much for your reply and may our Lord bless you and your wife !

Make space in your heart for God and He will enter in it. Christ says ''I am the way, and the truth, and the life''. Ask God to show you the way to find Him and He will show it to you as He has promised.

when they're spreaded misinformative words of respect but nevertheless harmful misinformation, not jokes or silly comments, but going against misinformation.

This is because these three men, none of whom is Orthodox or even any other kind of Christian, are much closer to the lifestyle of the monks than all the rest of us who had to work for a living.

Acceptance and respect for other religions is vanity. The point is either you save your soul from hell or not. Things are more serious than you thought

@@BacksliderML My spirituality and willingness to accept and love all others (as God taught me) is not in question here sir and it is disrespectful of you to do so. Have a nice day.

@@SandiByrd As I said, it doesn't matter if i respect your vain religion. Ok i respect it, so what? You are going to perish in the end. What matters is for you to realize the truth, get to know your real enemy Satan so you can take measures and follow the Lord and be protected and save your soul.

@@SandiByrdOne can accept others and love them, but also we are called to prove such love by bringing them to Christ.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAA

​@@ejokurirulezz i respect the fact that you are an atheist (or satanist whatever) but why are you laughing at your face? If you consider that you are laughing at the other guy you are dead wrong!

If you want to you can feel a connection with God everywhere.

@@manolismahlis9285Water is everywhere, but you still go to a spring or other source to drink it.

​@@ejokurirulezzit is people like you that these people at Mount Athos are praying for god help us all.

It’s above Greece

@@Fantabiscuit its in Greece what do you mean above Greece wtf??????

​@@bluemango3692it's supposed to be a state on its own, like Vatican. Sadly, it's not, and as they blackmail Greek gouve, Month Athos suffers as well

The first church since 33 ad.

Yes it is but it reminds me of the Vatican City surrounded by Italy, but without the crowds and just devoted to worshipping God. Does Mt Athos have its own flag ? And as a stamp collector wish they released a few issues (unofficially). Amazing place! I was speechless afterwards🙏

@@mattbarbarich3295 flag of Mt Athos is the cross of Jesus Christ ,Ellas flag with the cross of Crist, and konstantinoupolis flag with two head eagle

@@konstantinoss8934 Yes thank you, I did find it later, the yellow two headed eagle with crown flag, very nice. Also I see from 2008 joint issues with Greek Government for sets of stamps, super.

a place of prayer and many miracles as well.

@@karmelicanke how can I join them ?

@@GeorgeCarlin-gr2im The first requirement is to be male then to find out if you have an authentic vocation, you travel to Greece and visit Mt Athos. Perhaps you will be attracted to a particular monastery where you can live and work and both you and the abbot can discern your vocation. You might find a local Greek Orthodox Church and get advice from the Pastor. Search for an orthodox monastery in your vicinity as well for advice and experience. Prayers and best wishes in the search for God's will for you.

@@karmelicanke thank you

@@karmelicanke miracles ?

No people from different Nations are not all the same, and don't share anything together, and we do not all belong together at this stage.People should stay within the boundaries of their own countries and among their own people .The other way is the American minser that produces sausages made in the USA. Degenerate and corrupt societies.

Now thatn would be gold

If you are animal....

What it is common with this reaction. .?

Up

Amen brother

How much maniana did they give them.

Because they have thousands of Gods in some places and will add Jesus to their Gods if you teach about him. That's is the way ut I think they are Muslims. Respect is good but if it keeps people from the truth then it is no good cause. This place is nice but means nothing to God if his word is not being spread to all the earth. In the end, it will be destroyed like everything else and mean nothing. God never said shut yourself off from everyone and keep them out and away from you for life. Traditions of men bring the word of God to no account. Nice fellows but this has nothing to do with God and His way. The beauty of this place will not save anyone. God looks at the heart and not buildings no matter how old. It's just more important to not miss the mark when it comes to God. I throw respect away if I see someone that is lost and does not see it but hopefully in Love.

Those were not GOD's names, they were false idols. It matters.

@@friartalk6060 I am so sorry for you. I'm sure She is too. Blessings.

It’s not that mysterious, just an unincorporated island in an incorporated Indian territory that has a tribe of people who have been living in isolation for something like 60,000 years. They live like people used to in the stone age, and India has has prohibited pretty much any travel to the island or its surrounding waters. I believe they’ve already watched a video on the isolated peoples of the Amazon. If there’s a decent video on the island, then maybe, but there’s nothing secretive or mysterious about it.

@@alahiri2002 Since it's prohibited to visit the island, we do not really know that much about their culture, language or history. So I would say that it is fairly mysterious.

As it should be because people nowadays don't know what respect and not-invading means... just gotta leave them be...

@@jurvajakki Well yes, but then what exactly do we tell them about it? Just that it exists with a small permanent population and about the stories of the handful of people who have made contact with them in the past few hundred years? Personally, I feel like it wouldn’t be a great video.

@@Cassxowary Agreed. The Europeans decimated the native population in the Americas simply by accidentally introducing foreign diseases that Afro-Eurasians had long since built resistance to due to close contact. Now think about what’s going to happen to the people who have lived in isolation for 60,000 years if they are introduced to diseases from our modern interconnected planet like COVID or even shit like the flu. They would almost definitely be wiped out entirely.

Aftair all there are many women monasteries too, spread in whole Greece.

Was under the impression the three villagers were of the Islamic faith and therefore much more sympathetic to the monks as both these faiths worship one almighty God unlike Hindus who worship many and other animal deities.

@@mattbarbarich3295 Oh ! Yep, you are totally correct there

Αμην

Well, no. Mt. Athos is not a part of Greece. That is why you can't go there with a Greek visa.

It is in the mainland. It is not an island

@@zhaw4821 Correct! On a peninsula ( Halkidiki ) attached to the Greek mainland. I was there in 2006.

@@jaycorby I was born and grew up in Thessaloniki 🙂🙋‍♀️

@@zhaw4821 Awesome city. I loved the time I spent there at the Kapsis Hotel. The Church of St. Demetrios was spectacular...stood right on the spot of his martyrdom in the undercroft, and sang along with the chanters during Divine Liturgy. The Church of St. Gregory Palamas is fantastic, too.

@@jaycorby I also like Agia Sophia and the katakombs near this church

Lol

Maybe it should. Shutting yourself away and keeping people out....where in the bible did Jesus ever do that. People want to do as they like and expect God to bless it, but he said go into all the world and preach and never said shut yourself off for life from people and then have days where you don't ever speak to each other. This is a group of people, good people, trying to be Holy (their idea of being Holy, not Gods) without God as if they know better than God what being Holy is. This stuff is not holiness and God never said to do it anywhere in the bible. It sounds good and really looks good but is nothing unless it has God's word in it.

@@giftedandblack494 He never said it was a bad thing to do either lol.

@@giftedandblack494 Christianity is not the bible alone. The Bible came out of sacred christian tradition. Jesus went out to the desert to pray and fast for 40 days. Priests in the temple lived a dedicated life in the temple. This men don't just pray to save themselves, but they pray for mankind. They do it out of a love for God, nobody says this is for everyone, everyone has a different station in life, which the bible clearly indicates.

I think its like, the religious practices themselves havent changed lol

They are praying for all of us

@@panoschannel1 who is praying for you??

Yes! True spirituality is above all religions. It is the expression of love for God, and holds no malice for anything or anyone. Babu will be 'there' for sure!

They already have a religion AND a church of their own... and they do know who Jesus Christ was. Their religion is much broader and more inclusive than yours - maybe it's YOU who should seek THEIR guidance. They are respectful of Christians and do not try to force you to be Muslim, so why can't you just respect them the same way and leave it at that? Why do you think they need to adopt YOUR beliefs? Jesus is mentioned 187 times in the Quran, directly and indirectly, and is also referred to by many titles - the most common being al-Masīḥ or "the Messiah". How many times does your Bible mention Allah or the prophet Muhammad? Nor do they try to convert you to Hinduism. Hinduism is older than Christianity - the Vedic texts are thousands of years older than the Bible. Vedic knowledge says that that Brahman (GOD) IS the universe and ALL things are essentially divine including our person. Vedas even tell us about maths, the age of the universe, of parallel universes, even the distance to the sun, how to analyse correctly, how to connect with powers (devas) greater than humans, etc. Quantum physics has also come to the conclusion that all is one energy and that there are no separate entities anywhere. So far, the Vedas have never been proven wrong by science. Moreover, the Vedas claim this oneness can be experienced after purifying our inner perception, and many sages did so. So the claim, that Brahman is the essence in all, is surely closer to the truth than the claim by Christianity and Islam that the Supreme is separate from his creation, including the human being, and will send all those who don’t believe in a certain book for eternity to hell. This Vedic claim of divinity in humans gives naturally inner strength to a human being and also kindness (as Brahman is in others, too). Nothing in Islam OR Hindu sounds bad or wrong, so why do you disrespect them by telling them they must "come to Jesus"?! Just because that's what YOU believe? You enjoy YOUR freedom of religion...so allow others to do the SAME!

@@LittleBlueOwl318 exactly. I find it offensive and quite sad really after watching such an eye opening reaction video about tolerance and openess from the villagers to read comments from US Christians who need to convert everybody. How can you be so religious and lack basic spirituality? Disheartening.

@@carodelo Thank you ✌🏽❤🦉

@@carodelo actually yes we do need to try and convert everybody. That's basics of Christianity

@@shamirtazhani8164 precisely. You were chosen by God and the rest of the world will rot. The basics of a loving God.
