Elder Joseph of Vatopedi
Aug 30, 2025 • Father Demos Nicolaou
In this episode, Father Demos recounts the life of Elder Joseph of Vatopedi. Although not yet formally canonised, he is embraced as a saint in the hearts of the body of the Church. Born in 1921 in Cyprus, Elder Joseph became a spiritual father at Vatopedi Monastery and a living link to the hesychast tradition of Mount Athos. This episode invites us to honour his memory and draw inspiration from his humble, Christ-like life.
