Saint Peter the Athonite - St Gregory Palamas

nFor what reason is it generallyn nunknown, since the contentsn nare in no way inferior to thatn nof the great saints from all ages whon nare famous for their virtue? You alln nknow who I am talking about, unlessn nsomeone is ignorant of this famousn nMount Athos and the Peter namedn nafter it. He was our very first native andn nlocal champion. After overthrowingn nthe adversary of the whole earthn non this very ground, he then in thisn nvery place became the first trophy ofn nvictory over the enmity of him whon nstands against us; and consequently, n nby sowing the seed of good works inn ndue season, it eventually sprouted, n ngrew up, and bore fruit.n
