What happens when men avoid women? | Maintaining Frame 124

Welcome to Maintaining Frame where we will be looking at a video by 60 minutes which explores the monastery of Mount Athos. Mount Athos is an important center of Eastern Orthodox monasticism. The mountain and most of the Athos peninsula are governed as an autonomous region in Greece by the monastic community of Mount Athos, which is ecclesiastically under the direct jurisdiction of the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople. The remainder of the peninsula forms part of the Aristotelis municipality. Women are prohibited from entering the area governed by the monastic community by Greek law and by religious tradition.
