Mihailo Tolotos: The Man who Never Saw a Woman - Historic Mysteries
The life of a monk is often one of seclusion. May who are drawn to…

Mihailo Tolotos lived in the monastic community of Mount Athos, an Eastern Orthodox community of monks on an archipelago in eastern Greece. Mount Athos is a unique place in Europe, an autonomous region which entirely forbids women from entering (and therefore is arguably illegal in the EU, but that’s another story).
The earliest history of the site is lost to time, but we do know that Mount Athos was inhabited at least since the end of the 8th century where it is mentioned in the works of Theophanes the Confessor, a monk and a Byzantine noble. For over a thousand years the successive generations of monks have lived a quiet life in seclusion.
Mihailo Tolotos was one such monk. Born around 1855, his mother died in childbirth and he was given to the monks of Athos as a foundling. Tolotos grew up in the community and lived there for his entire life.
Tolotos never left Mount Athos, dying there in 1938 at the age of 82.
