Prousos Monastery (Παναγία Προυσιώτισσα) – Evrytania | Greece [4K]

Holy Monastery of Prousos (Greek: Μονή Προυσού) is a monastery of County Evrytania, Greece. It is located 31 km south of Karpenisi and 53 km northeast of Agrinio, 2 km from the homonymous village and is a spiritual and pilgrimage center of the entire region. It is built in a steep, rocky area between the mountains of Helidona, Kaliakouda and the mountain range of Panaitoliko, which is overgrown with fir trees.

The name of the Monastery is due to the miraculous icon of "Panagia Prousiotissa". According to tradition, this icon comes from Bursa in Asia Minor and is believed to be the work of Luke the Evangelist. The icon of the Theotokos was located in a church in Bursa, but fearing that it would be destroyed by order of the iconoclast emperor of Byzantium Theophilus (829–842), it fled to Central Greece.

Tradition links the sanctuary of the icon, the current site of the Monastery, with miracles that occurred during the transfer of the icon there. The young man who carried it, together with one of his servants, decided to establish a monastery at this spot as they found it impossible to move the image from there. They themselves became the first monks, with the names Dionysios and Timotheus.

The Holy Monastery of Prousos is dedicated to Theotokos and celebrates on August 23 (Apodosis Dormition of Theotokos). In 1748 the Monastery became Stauropegion.
