Our history and inspiration
The store “Odigitria” was created for people who do not compromise on quality and seek a deep connection with spirituality. Our name comes from one of the most ancient icons of the Most Holy Theotokos – “Odigitria”, which shows the way and protects believers in every storm of life. With this light in our hearts, we select every product in our store to offer you not just a product, but a piece of the grace of the Holy Mountain.
Medicinal herbs from the monastery gardens
Only in “Odigitria” you will find unique medicinal herbs, hand-picked in the gardens of the holy monasteries of Pantokrator and Xenophon on Mount Athos. These plants grow in nature untouched by man, where the air is clean and the earth is blessed. The herbs are selected according to ancient recipes, proven their healing effect over the centuries.
Extra Virgin olive oil from thousand-year-old olive trees
We proudly offer Athos Extra Virgin Olive Oil, produced from the juicy olives of the Xenophon Monastery, grown on thousand-year-old trees in the gardens of the Most Holy Theotokos. The olive trees, which the monks care for with prayer and love, give fruits with a unique taste and exceptional nutritional qualities. The olive oil is cold-pressed to preserve all the valuable substances beneficial for the heart and overall health.
Real honey and propolis from sacred forest bees.
Our honey and propolis are known for their miraculous healing properties. The bees of Mount Athos collect nectar from wild flowers in pure, untouched nature, which gives the honey a unique taste and a powerful effect on the immune system. It is a natural elixir that strengthens the body and brings sweet pleasure to the senses.
