St. Anthony's Greek Orthodox Monastery, Greek Orthodox monastery in Florence, Arizona.
The monastery complex includes a main church, living quarters, dining facilities, and multiple chapels spread across gardens with fountains and pathways.
Six monks from Mount Athos established this religious center in 1995 under the guidance of Elder Ephraim, bringing Orthodox traditions to Arizona.
The resident brotherhood maintains Greek Orthodox practices, starting their day at midnight with prayers, followed by Divine Liturgy and various monastic duties.
Visitors can access the monastery daily between 10:30 AM and 4:00 PM, with separate accommodation facilities available for extended spiritual retreats.
The monastery maintains citrus orchards, olive groves, and gardens in the Sonoran Desert, creating a Mediterranean environment in the American Southwest.
