For more than 50 years, Spyridon Denaxas — or Father Spyridon, as he’s affectionately called — has prayed, worked and welcomed the faithful in a millennium-old monastery carved into a seaside cliff on the Greek island of Amorgos.
Starting well before dawn in a tiny, dark chapel, the Orthodox Christian monk prays to the icon of the Virgin Mary that gives its name to the whitewashed complex perched between sky and sea – the Panagia Hozoviotissa.
