From an Orthodox standpoint, I think this is one of the best, most accurate accounts of the lives of Orthodox monastics that has reached a national audience. Great job, 60 Minutes and CBS! Christ is Risen!

Christos Anesti! (Greek for Christ has Risen). This is an outstanding work of CBS network. I spent a few days at Mount Athos a couple of months ago and by watching this video really made me want to go back there, as soon as possible.

how can you be in Greece and not love Zeus? Jesus loving Greeks make no sense.

Orthodoxy has everything you will find in ure search for the ancient Church - this includes unfortunately the disunited church, something Orthodoxy badly needs to deal with before it loses out against an old enemy

@kimberlanya Couldn't agree more. This segment is helping me rediscover orthodoxy. Haven't been to church in a while, but this makes me want to go back.
