Η Ορθοδοξία ως Πολιτισμικό Επίτευγμα και τα Προβλήματα του Σύγχρονου Ανθρώπου. τ. Β΄Η ορθοδοξία απέναντι σε θέματα της Εποχής. ΕΑΠ, Πάτρα 2002,
Η εργασία αυτή πραγματεύεται τη συμβολή των δύο αυτών Ιερών Μονών, στο παρελθόν, στο παρόν και στο μέλλον. Στην θεολογική, πνευματική και κοινωνική προσφορά των Μοναχών, σε όλη την πορεία του μοναχικού βίου τους.
Απαρχή της εργασίας είναι η προσφορά των Ιερών Μονών κατά την περίοδο της Οθωμανικής κυριαρχίας και στην διάρκεια της Επανάστασης του 1821, με τη προετοιμασία και την ενίσχυση του Αγώνα. Με τις Ιερές Μονές ως ορμητήρια των Ελλήνων για την απελευθέρωση του Έθνους, ως εστίες περίθαλψης τραυματιών, προσφύγων και γυναικόπαιδων, ως αποθήκες πολεμοφοδίων και προμηθειών, ως κέντρα συγκέντρωσης ερανικών χρημάτων για την κάλυψη των αναγκών του Αγώνα αλλά και ως πάροχοι, οι ίδιες, χρηματικών ποσών ή εκπονούμενων χρυσών και αργυρών σκευών.
Στη συνέχεια γίνεται αναφορά στην προσφορά των Ιερών Μονών στο παρόν για τη διατήρηση και την ενίσχυση της πίστης των Ορθοδόξων, την θεολογική και κοινωνική προσφορά τους στον 20ο αιώνα. Τη συνεχή συμπαράσταση που προσφέρουν οι Ιερές Μονές στους πιστούς, για την αντιμετώπιση των προβλημάτων της σύγχρονης εποχής, παραμένοντας οι ίδιες, πνευματικά κέντρα στο διηνεκές.
Τέλος για τη προσφορά των Ιερών Μονών στο μέλλον, διατυπώνεται η ελπίδα και η προσδοκία για την σωτηρία των ανθρώπων, μέσα από τις προσευχές των μοναχών.
The subject of this paper is one of the most ancient ecclesiastical institutions, the Monasticism and the Holy Monasteries of the Great Cave and Agioi Theodoroi of Aroania, hinged upon their contribution to the past, present and future. The period of Ottoman domination from the fall of the Byzantine Empire to the Greek Revolution of 1821 was studied while seeking those elements which present, based on the historical socio-economic context, the possibilities that emerged in the course and evolution of the Revolution regarding the contribution of these two monasteries to the conducting the war. The in-depth analysishelped set out the relevant parameters, such as the theological framework of Monasticism with the offering of sacred monasteries, monks, and every single individual or group that indirectly or directly contributed in any way to the struggle.
This paper attempted to approach and investigate the course of the work of the Holy Monasteries of the Great Cave and Agioi Theodoroi of Aroania in their causal and temporal succession, beginning with the Greek Revolution, reaching the present and looking forward to the future.
The offering of the Holy Monasteries over time in the course of the Greek nation has preoccupied contemporary historiography and ecclesiastical history, but it remains an open subject for further research and study. The aspects and perspectives of this object provide a wide scope for detection and new sources and elements that contribute to the views of this ecclesiastical institution coming together.
The presence and contribution of Monasticism profoundly influenced not only the historical continuity of Hellenism but also the overall political and economic backdrop of the Balkans and the East, since the events that took place (19thcentury) at that time but also those that followed, differentiated the world map and signaled the beginning of the end of a long period of Ottoman conquest in European territories.
Many are the components of Monasticism, which began with the desire of men and Monks along the path, based on the preaching of Jesus Christ and the apostolate to seek spiritual perfection (theosis) from within the two distinct manifestations of this institution, either through the departure from urban centers and refuge in deserted places, "ascetic monasticism" or through the "communal monasticism", Holy Monasteries.
At the same time, the love and respect of the Monks in tradition, history, letters and the arts are recorded, with the preservation of the holy monasteries not only as spiritual centers but also as hubs of culture and civilization. Finally, the dedication of the monksemerged to the Christian faith and to the ideal of freedom, a fundamental element of the Orthodox faith, who whenever necessary did not hesitate to transform the spiritual centers of Orthodoxy (the Holy Monasteries) into national castles.
The offering of the Holy Monasteries does not stop in the past but continues in the present, helping the community to cope with the contemporary problems that concern it, through the prayer, understanding, patience and hope that the word of God promises.
The central question raised in this paper is the theological, social and national context which Monasticism touched upon and functioned in the years of Ottoman domination but also how it takes effect and functions in modern times. More specifically, it seeks to investigate the finding and gathering (as far as this is achieved) of the data that constitute this action to support Orthodox theology and defend freedom.
The paperhinges upon three objectives: the first objective is a reference to the theoretical background and the historical context of Monasticism, with an overview of the notion of this ecclesiastical institution over time. The second objective refers to the contribution of the holy monasteries of the Great Cave and Agioi Theodoroi of Aroania to the views and forms of support of the Greek Revolution of 1821. Here is where an attempt is made to quote the parties to raise money, food, munitions, which are all necessary to conduct war operations. At the same time, the spontaneous and enthusiastic participation of the monks in warfare operations is revealed. The third objective refers to the offering of the holy Monasteries of the Great Cave and the Agioi Theodoroi to the present and contemporary problems that afflict the community, which pose not only social or national risks but also risks for the Orthodox Church. Finally, a reference is made to what we expect from the offering of the Holy Monasteries in the future.
In the attempt to formulate the working hypothesis, questions were asked which decode and branch out the key question.
