St. Anthony's Greek Orthodox Monastery -- Florence, AZ (Part 1)

MT native Loc: Big Sky Country — Montana
 
The Chapel of the Holy Prophet Elias was completed in the summer of 2008.

"High above the tree-lined road that leads to St. Anthony’s Monastery stands this blue and white domed chapel, reminiscent of the architecture of the Greek islands. Entrance into this chapel is not permitted to the general public."

A dear friend of ours told us about the Monastery and so from Sun Lakes, we drove to Florence to discover this desert oasis. It is remarkable as to what they have accomplished since the project started in 1995.
