Bogoroditsa
(
Greek
:
Σκ?τη Βογορ?διτσα?
) is a
skete
(smaller, dependent monastic house) of the
Agiou Panteleimonos monastery
(Monastery of St. Panteleimon) in the
monastic state
of
Mount Athos
,
Greece
.
[1]
The Skete is situated in a
forested
area, between the
monasteries
of
Vatopedi
and
Pantokrator
. It is inhabited by
Bulgarian
monks
and it follows the
coenobitic
way of monastic life. The complex became a skete in 1818 and today has a main church and secondary chapel.
[2]
Bogoroditsa
lies on the site of the pre-existing
monastery
of
Xylourgos
.
[1]
Xylourgos (meaning
Carpenter
[3]
) had been a fully, independent
[4]
Russian
[5]
community known from as early as 1020. The majority of the community moved in 1169 to the Monastery of St. Panteleimon, but Xylourgos continued to thrive through the 11th and 12th centuries.
