The missing monk in Mount Athos was found alive in a barn

The monk who was missing in Mount Athos since 6 pm on Sunday was found in a barn with animals.

He found refuge in the Agogiatis barn to protect himself from the bad weather that hit the Athonite peninsula on Sunday and continues today.

The monk was located by another monk shortly before 10 in the morning.

He was lost in the so-called Desert of Mount Athos, the only corner of Earth where the early Christian tradition of the hermits of Egypt continues.

Meanwhile, heavy snowfall is occurring even in coastal areas of the monastic peninsula.

There are problems throughout the road network of the Athonite peninsula.

On Sunday the ferries from Ierissos and Ouranoupolis did not operate as there was a curfew.
