Greek Orthodox Monastery


This is a Greek Orthodox Monastery which is about 11 miles south of Florence, Arizona. I've always had an interest in various religions; therefore, this seemed like a good place to visit. The site is beautiful. The monks do allow visitors to tour certain areas. Men must wear long sleeves and long pants. Women must wear head scarfs, long skirts, and very modest long sleeve tops. If you don't have the required clothing, the monastery will supply it as you enter the main gate. The first photograph is of the inside of one of the several chapels on the grounds. The second is from the new chapel located on a hill overlooking the complex. (6/22/13)
