Exaltation: The Cross in the Land of Mount Athos
The new bilingual (Greek-English) publication by the Mount Athos Center entitled Exaltation: The Cross in the Land of Mount Athos, containing photographic material by George Poupis, has just been released. The publication contains the late lamented photographer’s photographs of the outdoor crosses that are to be found throughout the Athonite Republic. Each photograph reflects the photographer’s own unique perspective and, of course, his very personal aesthetic. All of the photographic material presented in the publication comes from the material that the photographer patiently and lovingly accumulated on each of the numerous visits he made to Mount Athos over the course of thirty years.
A beautifully written and beautifully translated essay by the Archimandrite Vasileios Gontikakis, the abbot of Iveron Monastery, entitled ‘The Cross (and the crosses) on Mount Athos’ accompanies the photographs, as well as a short text by the photographer himself. You can read more and order the book from the Mount Athos Center.
