Thirst for God

The Life of St Silouan. Frescoes from the Community of St John the Baptist

$14.00

This book presents the wall paintings located in a small refectory of our Monastery. The murals depict the life of St Silouan the Athonite, the spiritual father of Saint Sophrony, founder of the community. After the death of his spiritual director, Father Sophrony wrote a book, St Silouan the Athonite, detailing the life of the saint and including his writings. The wall paintings, laid out in clockwise order, follow the order of the book and present significant moments in the saint’s life. The inscriptions on the wall paintings, with some clarifying additions, comprise the text of this book.
