Kollyvades

The Kollyvades (Greek: Κολλυβάδες) were the members of a movement within the Eastern Orthodox Church that began in the second half of the eighteenth century among the monastic community of Mount Athos, which was concerned with the restoration of traditional practices and opposition to unwarranted innovations, and which turned unexpectedly into a movement of spiritual regeneration. As Metropolitan Kallistos Ware succinctly points out: Throughout the Turkish period the traditions of Hesychasm remained alive, particularly on Mount Athos.
