"A Greek Orthodox monk, Mihailo Tolotos, lived his entire life of 82 years without ever seeing a woman due to the strict rule of the monastery he lived in on Mount Athos, which banned #Women from entering.

A law was passed in 1060 AD banning women and animals from Mount Athos. Even today, only male tourists are allowed inside the monastery and monks are not allowed to shave, bathe, tight, argue and ask what lies beyond the walls of the monastery.

He was abandoned as an infant and adopted by the monastery, and never left the walls of the monastery throughout his entire life.

Despite living in seclusion, Mihailo’s story is a reminder of the strict rules and regulations that governed monastic life in the past."
