Prodromos

monastic community of Mount Athos, Greece

The Skete of Prodromos (Schitul Prodromu) is a Romanian cenobitic skete belonging to the Great Lavra Monastery. It is located in the southeastern extremity (called Vigla) of Mount Athos, near the cave of Athanasios the Athonite. Its name, Prodromos, is Greek for "The Forerunner", a cognomen of St. John the Baptist. It is one of the two Romanian establishments at Mount Athos, the other one being Lakkoskiti. As with all Athonite monasteries and sketes, it is under the jurisdiction of the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople. Currently, 35 monks live in the Skete of Prodromos.
