Moni Osiou Grigoriou monastery - a photo on Flickriver

            The Holy Monastery of Saint Gregory (Greek: Ιερά Μονή Οσίου Γρηγορίου), also known as Gregoriou Monastery (Greek: Μονή Γρηγορίου) is an Orthodox Christian monastery in the monastic state of Mount Athos in Greece. The Monastery ranks seventeenth in the hierarchy of the Athonite monasteries. It is built by the sea, on the southeastern side of the peninsula, neighboring the monasteries of Simonopetras and Dionysiou.

The Monastery was founded in 1310 by Saint Gregory the Hesychast (Dec. 7), a Serbian monk that dwelled in a cave, which still exists, about 20 minutes up from the Monastery. He dedicated the Monastery and the main church to Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker (Dec. 6). Saint Anastasia of Rome (Oct. 29) is officially considered the third patron saint of the Monastery, due to her holy relics that are kept there and the many miracles she performs.

Gregoriou Monastery had burnt down twice, first in 1496 and later in 1761. After the second fire, reconstruction began almost immediately.
