Diving into Routine

The photographs showcase various aspects of monks' lives—from morning prayers to gardening and managing the household. You will see how monks manage to combine spiritual practice with daily duties. Each shot offers immersion into the strictness and organization of their routine.

Architectural Nuances

An integral part of monks' lives is the architecture of monasteries, which can range from majestic cathedrals to modest cells. These buildings are often located in secluded areas, providing peace and focus for spiritual practice. You will be able to see elements of liturgical architecture, bell towers, and holy springs that are important components of their surroundings.

Nature and Surroundings

Monasteries are often situated in picturesque locations: mountains, forests, as well as bodies of water create a unique atmosphere conducive to reflection and meditation. Our images illustrate how nature harmoniously interacts with the lives of monks, supporting their connection with the world and the Almighty.

Seasonal Changes

You will see photographs of monastic life across different seasons: in spring, flowers bloom in the monastery gardens; in summer, monks harvest crops; in autumn, fruits are gathered; and in winter, monasteries are covered in a blanket of snow, creating a calm and peaceful atmosphere. Each season brings its own individuality to the monks' routine.
