Skete of the Annunciation
The Skete of the Annunciation of the Theotokos (Greek: Σκήτη Ευαγγελισμού της Θεοτόκου) is a skete of the Monastery of Xenophontos, on Mount Athos, Greece.
The skete was founded in 1766[1] by the hieromonk Sylvester, and the monks Efrem and Agapios.[2]
Today the skete consists of 26 residences occupied by 10 monks,[3] a library holding 360 hand written codexes and 500 prints,[4] and a church built in 1766 containing 100 icons and the relics of St. Charalampos and St. Modestos.[2][3]
