Icon Corner: The Story of Saint Paisios of Mount Athos

 Welcome to another special edition of From Dawn to Doctrine, “Icon Corner.” the episodes where we explore the lives of holy figures whose stories light the way from ordinary beginnings to extraordinary faith. today we’re traveling to the rugged cliffs of Mount Athos in Greece to meet a modern saint whose life feels both timeless and deeply relatable: Saint Paisios of Mount Athos. Known for his profound humility, his spiritual wisdom, and—perhaps most charmingly—his love for animals and his ability to speak with them, Paisios is a figure who bridges the mystical and the everyday. So, settle in, maybe grab a cup of tea, and let’s journey into the life of this remarkable man.
