TRUTH IS BEAUTIFUL
From the beginning of our monastic journey, we have held that beauty - be it in nature or through the work of human hands - is a path to the Divine. Beauty has the power to touch the soul directly, to evoke in the heart feelings of joy, exaltation, or sadness; to elevate the mind to spiritual matters, and to make the soul more receptive to things divine.
We firmly believe that human artistry is a divine gift, given by God that we might all come to know Him better. In creating beauty, we exercise and manifest an integral part of our nature. We were created in the image and likeness of God (Gen. 1:26-27).
At Holy Protection Monastery, we devote ourselves to a common life of prayer and work, for the praise, love, service of God, and for the upbuilding of His Kingdom - through the Arts. For men interested in the possibility of a vocation to the monastic life, we offer discernment retreats of up to a week in length throughout the year.
