Mount Athos the ancient republic of ten thousand monks
Professor Gregory describes Mount Athos as a self governing Greek Catholic monastic republic on a peninsula near Macedonia. Ten thousand monks live there under a police system to bar entry to women, with entry requiring a letter from the Greek patriarch. The monasteries hold a vast collection of Biblical manuscripts and many scholars study them for biblical discoveries. In Virginia, about 30 cattle were slaughtered to prevent tuberculosis spread, with state testing and compensation to owners under the dairy and livestock laws.
