Courtyard, Monastery of Saint John the Theologian, Patmos

Christodoulos also founded the monastery library. When he arrived on the island he brought with him his personal library including manuscripts from the monastic area of Mt. Latmos. The library is now home to more than 3000 printed books, 900 manuscripts and 13000 documents dating back to 1073. The library is not open to the general public.

 

The monastery has, amongst its relics, the skull of Saint Thomas the Apostle.
