Agios Paisios: Apo ta Farasa ston ourano

Agios Paisios:Apo ta Farasa ston ourano is not just a television series-it is a profoundly moving spiritual journey, brought to life with reverence, authenticity, and cinematic grace. From its very first episode, the series envelops the viewer in a world of humility, faith, and quiet miracles, tracing the remarkable life of Saint Paisios of Mount Athos, one of the most beloved and respected figures in modern Orthodoxy.

Visually, the series is stunning. With careful attention to historical detail-from the costumes and sets to the portrayal of Cappadocian life and the refugee experience-the show transports viewers into a bygone era while making its message feel timeless. The production value is exceptionally high, reflecting a level of care and devotion befitting the sacred subject matter.

The performance of Nikitas Tsakiroglou as Elder Arsenios and Prokopis Agathokleous as Saint Paisios is breathtaking. They don't just act; they embody the serenity, wisdom, and quiet strength that defined Saint Paisios. Their portrayals are deeply respectful and spiritually resonant, making it easy for the audience to feel the weight of divine calling and inner struggle.

What elevates the series to a 10/10, however, is its emotional depth and spiritual impact. This isn't a show that relies on dramatic tricks or sensationalism. Instead, it relies on something far more powerful: truth, faith, and love. Each episode feels like a meditation-an invitation to reflect, to feel, and perhaps to believe more deeply.

Agios Paisios is a rare gem in television-a series that nourishes the soul while honoring the life of a modern saint with dignity, grace, and quiet power. It's not just recommended viewing-it's a blessing.

This is the reason i created my account here. To honor the people who created the Saint Paisios short biography for TV .

I felt that Prokopis Agathokleous is Saint Paisios for real!

Congratulations to everyone !

The scenes from his birthplace, Hagion Oros, Oros Sina etc were really breathtaking!

There are many emotional scenes.

The musical background is exactly what it should be.

Saint Paisios who devoted his life to others , who showed true , unconditional love to all human beings, animals , nature etc. He was really God' s creation!

A must watch series for all . I couldn' t wait until the next episode. Now that it ended, i will start watching it again and again.

Truly, there are no words to describe this series. It's my first time writing a review here, but this diamond truly deserves it. Most Orthodox Christians are probably familiar with Saint Paisios, but through this 21-episode journey, you will come to know him even deeper.

Congratulations to the entire team - creators, photographers, and everyone involved. Special thanks to Prokopis Agathokleous and especially to Christina Pavlidou. Words cannot express how beautifully and emotionally you portrayed the role of the Mother. Honestly, both of you deserve to be nominated for an Oscar.

Must-watch, 10/10.

A true masterpiece of the modern cinematography! Really loved the script depicting the life and miracles of saint paisios as well as the actors that portrayed the era very accurately! The best of all is that this series alarms your inner self and makes you a better person. Everybody has blamed and mistreated either other people or even himself. Through the episodes you clearly see the difference between right and wrong and the true meaning of life, which is patience, hope and love not only for your loved ones but also for everyone else. In the end i truly congratulate the director of the film for the realistic depiction of agion oros and the greek nature.

Watching this series will make you wonder about your place on earth and teaches all the good Christianity and bring to the world. Is about Saint Paisios life on earth and his spiritual journey, his miracles and how the love for Jesus Christ and embrassing his teachings can elevate human to get closer to God and be a better man and eventualy reach the ascension to hollyness, something very difficult to an everyday human but possible for a few people dedicated to deep prayer, holy asceticism, the expulsion of selfishness and the renunciation of worldly everyday life and temptations with the sole goal of loving Christ and the Virgin Mary.
