The Monks on Mt. Athos

60 Minutes recently did a documentary on the Orthodox monks living on Mt. Athos, a self-governing territory located on a Greek peninsula. Even those who find the Orthodox strange and/or irrelevant will most likely find the documentary to be fascinating for a host of reasons.

Unfortunately, embedding of the videos is prohibited, but I have supplied the relevant Youtube links below:
