About the cemetery

Xenophontos monastery (Greek: Μονή Ξενοφώντος) is an Orthodox Christian monastery in the monastic state of Mount Athos in Greece. 40.245833, 24.190278 It stands by the sea, on the western shore of the Athos peninsula. It was built in the tenth century. The monastery is dedicated to Saint George. The main church was built just prior to the Greek Revolution of 1821 and is in the neo-classical style. It is perhaps the largest on Mt Athos. A large cross is suspended above the inner sanctum and the choirs of the monks do some of the best traditional Byzantine chanting in the whole peninsula. There are a few relics of Christian Saints located here, including Saint George. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xenophontos_Monastery https://www.mountathos.org/en-us/Home-en.aspx
