Following centuries of contribution to Christianity, in 1988 the Meteora were integrated in the World Heritage Sites list.
This phase change is historic, even though many didn’t realise that value at a national level, as they didn’t pay much attention to this decision.
Consequently, the Meteora obtained an official characteristic at Humanity’s level and with a religious character at that.
Therefore, those who observe them merely as a space of monasticism didn’t understand that due to their profoundness and polycyclicity, they acquired a range which is not only natural but also symbolic.
Ever since then and thereon, the Meteora don’t only belong to others but also to Humanity itself.
In this sense, monasticism, which theoretically obtains only a religious character, has also become a symbol of resistance against time with that acceptance of Humanity.
They don’t merely constitute a special space of a society of a certain era, but a segment of the Time of Humanity.
In this manner monasticism in itself constitutes an added value as strange as it may seem.
Because those who are interested in Meteora, observe within them, and through their international recognition, also an example of the living memory of Humanity.
And monasticism constitutes an indivisible element.
In this sense, monasticism is the connecting link between the epoches.
And monasticism is responsible for guarding, exploiting and of a utilization of the thought of Humanity.
Monks and nuns obtain an intertemporal role. Because they will be here even afterwards.
As it functions as a catalytic element of spirituality, and a fraction of humanity’s thinking.
In this sense, monasticism will be here even following any of society’s actions, as it belongs directly to Humanity.
If we all comprehend that, then we will in actual fact contribute towards its work, since it concerns all of us, as the Meteora belong to Humanity.
