New Monastery of Agios Dionysios
The New Monastery of Agios Dionysios is a Greek Orthodox Monastery, located on the slopes of Mount Olympus, 3 km from Litochoro. It was built in 1950 and is a stavropegic monastery, subordinated directly to the Patriarch of Constantinople. The Katholikon is dedicated to the Assumption of the Virgin and its temple is adorned with icons painted in 1955 by the great hagiographer Fotis Kontoglou. Since 1989, women have been prohibited from entering certain areas of the monastery. These areas include the monks’ cells, the workshops, the dining room and the main church where daily services take place. In the rest of the monastery, all believers are allowed. In the free area there is a newly built church where a Divine Liturgy is performed every Sunday.
The monastery hosts a library with many remarkable publications and an interesting Ecclesiastical Byzantine Museum which was established by the Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew. The museum is filled with items of great cultural and religious interest and is housed in the recently renovated old Abbot’s quarter. The collection includes an epitaph of 1579, many holy relics in elaborate silver cases, carven crosses, icons from the 16th century, a Russian imperial golden bull of 1692, canonicals of the 18th and 19th centuries, twenty manuscripts, and about one hundred incunabular and printed books from 1574 to 1900. The monastery is open daily from dawn to dusk but remains closed between 13:00 p.m. and 15:30 p.m. Access from Litochoro is very easy. The monastery celebrates on the 23rd of January, commemorating Agios Dionysios of Olympus.
