Sanctified places are of great value, as they are imbued with the grace of God.
The Elder typically said:
"For example, I enter a holy cave, such as the cave of Agios Akakios or Agios Nilos on Mount Athos or in the cave of the Apocalypse and I do not manage to start praying and immediately the sanctified place raises me to the heights."
"Many times before, but even now, I" fly "to Mount Athos over Mount Athos and pray with the Mount Athos fathers. I feel very much the grace of the ascetics and the incense that smells as they ascend to heaven. Clouds around Mount Athos the moscholivana!
These places used to be walked by saints with great devotion and prayer to God. Both the stones, and they have been impregnated with the grace of God, which the saints attracted to themselves. These people there were Angels of God sent here on earth. They lived an angelic life. They lived with love for God, with love, with devotion.
As I wake up at night here in the monastery, I "see" Mount Athos flooded with grace because of the euthanas prayers of the fathers. As soon as the talent strikes, they run to listen to "Sleepers" and begin the prayers with longing, with love, with joy. What can I say! Paradise is opening! "

"Saint Porphyrios the Kausokalyvitis The holiness in the 21st century"
