Recovering Ukrainian soldiers arrive to worship the holy icon of the Virgin Mary at the Virgin Portaitissa chapel, inside the Monastery of Iviron in Mount Athos, Greece, November 26, 2024. In their four-day stay, part of a psychological support programme organised by Ukrainian authorities, the 22 soldiers made a pilgrimage to some dozen monasteries on the slopes of Mount Athos, a spiritual centre since the 10th century. "A lot of servicemen suffer from the events that took place over the last three years. A lot of them suffer from different illnesses – they are wounded, and we have to rehabilitate them," said Father Mykhailo Pasirskyi, a Ukrainian Orthodox priest. REUTERS/Alexandros Avramidis
