The Life of Saint Paisios the Athonite in English. Saint Paisios (1924-1994) is a contemporary saint in the Orthodox Church who lived most of his life as a monk and ascetic on Mount Athos. His life stands as a stark testimony against those who don't believe in God, much less in miracles. More importantly, he is a guiding light to the faithful. We hope you enjoy this video and share it with others!

  • I am a Roman Catholic but often read your Saints. Today I got miracle via Saint Paisios immediately after watch this video, I pray to Saint Paisios to heal my all abdominal and haemorrhoids pain, as soon as this video ended I feel the pain was gone and the pain never felt again, thank you my lovely Saint Paisios, you always special in my heart .
  • @nygothuey6607
    As a former atheist, learning about men like this, that have such a powerful connection with God make me more sure than ever that I was right to start believing in God. I may not be a Christian (at least not at this point) but I do believe in a God more powerful and wonderful than can be described.
  • @Emper0rH0rde
    I'm not Orthodox yet, but I think this man might just be my patron saint.
  • Oh Father St Paisios pray for me a drug addict, my struggle with addiction has taken over my life.
  • Father Saint Paisios pray for Julia, 3 year old girl with tumour around her spine. She needs a miracle. Lord, Have Mercy.
  • @Emper0rH0rde
    I was received into the church this past Christmas Day, and I chose Paisios the Athonite as my patron saint. Holy Paisios, pray for us!
  • Saint Paisios is the Saint of my conversion, from roman catholicism to Holy and Eternal Orthodoxy!!GLORY TO GOD FOR ALL THINGS!
  • @elvenkind6072
    I'm a Norwegian, living in a pretty much godless land, and find myself very much drawn to Byzantine- and Greek-Orhodox Hymns and Religion in general, although labels like Protestant or Orhodox don't mean much to me, but only to believe in Jesus and live according to His will. An interesting documentary.
  • I am an orthodox Christian.my grandfather was a Greek priest in Tarpon Springs, Florida for 42 years. He was a wonderful man from Kalymnos. Later, after my yiayia died he was given the opportunity to become an archimandeus in Kalymnos. I believe in Jesus Christ and the lord. Can you please pray for my family. I live in Wisconsin now. We all need prayers. Thank you. Kalliope Jakubik
  • St. Paisios is fervently praying for humanity. Truly this man was a living icon of Christ that his life on earth brings me to tears of compunction. Lord Jesus, Son of God, have mercy on me!
  • I am overwhelmed. St. Paisos is the very first Saint I've researched, and wow, I had no idea people like this existed.
  • I was experiencing depression and I watched this video and it dissipated. Almost like a vail being lifted. Slept for 3 hours and continued watching.
  • @seaturtle5757
    Good Evening from Houston Texas. I am having open heart surgery tomorrow……. I wish I was there in the desert to pray and meditate on the scriptures away from the insanity of the city. Pray for me brothers . May sour Fathet bless you all Michael

  • @oOOAmbassador
    For these complicated and turbulent times, saint Paisios is an oasis of peace and wisdom.
  • @chorra977
    I'm Ethiopian Orthodox (Oriental).Saint Paisios is a love of my life. Blessed is the day I bought his biography. That happened at time of my confusion...
  • @mjipa6302
    Orthodoxy is the answer to all religions. Orthodoxy is not a religion is the truth it's self.
  • @The-Autistocrat-
    Today is my 2nd visit to my local ROCOR parish. There is no doubt in my mind or heart that this is the true Church. The narrow way, indeed! Thank you for this wonderful and inspiring hagiography!
  • @abovemadness
