GREECE · JUNE 2003

The Father Grigorios The Agianitis is praying on his bed. He is holding on his hands his pray-beads which reach the floor. He is already 82 years old and has been a monk for over 60 years. He shares, with the Father Dionysios who is 85 years old, the same cell in the infirmary where, because of their age, they receive the care of the younger monks.

Le Père Grigorios prie sur son lit. Il tient dans ses mains son chapelet qui atteint le plancher. Il a déjà 82 ans et est moine depuis 60 ans. Il partage avec le Père Dionysos la même chambre, qui se trouve dans l'infirmerie où, en raison de leur âge, ils y reçoivent les soins de moines plus jeunes.
