Bogoroditsa Skete, Eastern Orthodox skete on Mount Athos, Greece
The Bogoroditsa Skete consists of a central church and surrounding buildings situated in a forested area between Vatopedi and Pantokrator monasteries.
Established on the grounds of the former Xylourgos monastery from 1020, the site received official recognition as a skete in 1818.
Bulgarian monks maintain Eastern Orthodox traditions through daily prayers, religious ceremonies, and manuscript preservation within this dependent monastic settlement.
Located at coordinates 40°17′30″N 24°14′20″E, the skete operates under the jurisdiction of Agiou Panteleimonos monastery and follows strict entry regulations.
The location preserves the legacy of the first Russian monastic community on Mount Athos, which transferred to Saint Panteleimon Monastery in 1169.
