The Moscow government will help to restore the Old Russik -- the oldest Russian monastery on Mount Athos in northeastern Greece.
Moscow mayor Yury Luzhkov -- at his recent meeting with Athonite monks -- assured his guests that all necessary works to restore the monastery would be completed shortly, according to the Interfax-Religion website.
A Moscow government delegation is visiting the Holy Mount today (July 7, 2010).
The Old Russik Monastery is notable, because St. Sava -- the founder of the Serbian Orthodox Church -- took his monastic vows in it.
