This convent was a real pleasure to visit. We arrived as the nuns were chanting and saying words from the gospels to celebrate the rising of christ. I am not religious but I found the dedication that these nuns had was inspiring.. Afterwards they were so pleased with us being there they gave some home made sweets. And reopened the convent shop where some of the items are hand made by the nuns... it was a lovely experience... Modern convent founded by Porphyrios of Kafsokalyvia, a 20th century monk and canonized saint in the Greek church. The convent also houses his relics. The nuns are very helpful and will answer your questions. Beautiful location easily accessible by car. A unique place founded by a unique man, Saint Porphyrios. Γαλήνη... Πραγματικά αξίζει να το επισκεφτούν όλοι! A marvelous and sanctified location to pray to God through the intercession of St Porphyrios, the actual founder of this nunnery Επιβλητικό!!! A monastery complex still in construction. A big beautiful church with lots of natural light coming in. It still doesn't attract a lot of people but once finished it will surely do. Personally I enjoyed the serenity of the place. Just walked into the courtyard and it felt so calm and peaceful. Blessed Monastery of saint Porphyrios! Highly recommend to visit! Saint Porphyrios has tried to replicate Agia Sophia in Constantinouple, Excellent construction still in the making but worth visiting and to worshiip. God Bless Όποιος διαβάσει την αυτοβιογραφία του Αγίου Πορφυρίου στο βιβλίο ''Βίος και Λόγοι'' , θα αισθανθεί την επιθυμία να επισκεφτεί την εκκλησία του Αγίου Γερασίμου στην Πολυκλινική Αθηνών στην Ομόνοια που ήταν εφημέριος για τρεις δεκαετίες καθώς και το μοναστήρι που ίδρυσε στον Ωρωπό. Άλλωστε όπως διαβάζουμε στο ανωτέρω βιβλίο, ο ίδιος είχε πει: ''Θα ήθελα το μοναστήρι να είναι το κέντρο που θα καταφεύγουν πονεμένοι και ταλαιπωρημένοι άνθρωποι και θα βρίσκουν παρηγοριά και ενίσχυση και θεραπεία΄΄. Εκτός από την εκκλησία ο προσκυνητής μπορεί να επισκεφτεί και το δωμάτιο του. Πανηγυρίζει στις 2 Δεκεμβρίου (κοίμηση του Αγίου Πορφυρίου) και της Μεταμορφώσεως του Σωτήρος στις 6 Αυγούστου. Ήθελα πολύ να επισκεφτώ το μοναστήρι αυτό, μετά το θαύμα που έγινε από τον Άγιο Πορφύριο σε γυναίκα που γνωρίζω Κ το μωρό της.Η πίστη σώζει!!! Νοιώθω Κ γω πως πήρα την ευλογία του Celebration of Porphyrios of Kafsokalyvia on 01 December 2024 A very calm monastery. The main church is very simple, without any big frescos, but some beautiful icons. You can see the blood relic of Saint Porphyrios and his old cell with his vestments. Unfortunately the monastery felt pretty empty. Only a nun that opened the door to the saints cell was visible and a woman that takes care of the room before the church entrance. But besides that it is a holy place, which you can feel.
