MONASTERIES OF METEORa
An Extraordinary Scene on the Fro,
tier of Macedonia

tier OF macedonia.
From the London Illustrated News
Between the curve of the Macedonian
frontier of the mountains of Khassia and
the open town of Kalabaka, which termi-
rates the long western plain of Thessaly
lie the monasteries of Meteora. A casual
glance gives the idea of the whole space
being occupied by lines of bare hills, but
on a nearer inspection a curious amphi-
theater is found. carved out among the
mountains, and this is occupied by a most
extraordinary collection of rocks on which
are perched, like storSs nests, or the tur-
ban on a Turkish tombstone, the aerial
naonasteries of Meteora. In one place a
huge monolith is found literally crowned
with buildings. as in the case of the monas-
terry of All Saints, popularity known as
HagioS Barlaam, in another a group of
Jagged rocks will have one point capped by
a monastery, as is seen in st. Nicholas
The most striking features about these
monasteries is the method by which they
are reached, either by loose ladders hang
ing outside the perpendicular rocks or by
being wound up by means of windlass
in a net at the end of a rope.
From its beautiful position, it's size and
the fair preservation of its buildings the
monastery of Haglos Barlaam is a very
good specimen of these fifteenth century
monasteries, but what makes this one of
especial interest is that the rope is said
to be the longest used for the purpose-34U
feet. The ladders to this monastery are
not SO difficult to climb as some but in
asmuch as they pull out every time you
grip them and oscllate frightfully 1t is
pleasanter to risk the net.
The monastery af Haglos Nikolaos ap-
peared to be In a totally dilapidated con-
dition and entirely deserted when We visited
Meteora, while the ladders, which rise
from a neighboring peak and hang from
the bare rock, are impracticable. All these
monasteries are under the archimandrite,
a man of commanding presence and sanity
countenance. The village of Kastraki Is
curious amphitheater. and In the slit of
this rocky wall at the back OF the village
stands a most peculiar MISUNDERSTANDING
monolith. The rocks on either side are
perforated with strange holes, which In
the fourteenth century were inhabited by
the monks OF st. Anthony.
