Looking for an interesting television show to watch that is beautiful and inspiring? I recently stumbled upon this show made in Greece about the life of St. Paisios, one of the most beloved Greek saints of the 20th century. I admit that I was skeptical at first since Christian media hasn't always had the highest production value. However, I was very pleasantly surprised by the high quality acting, writing, and production. The show is very compelling and entertaining while remaining faithful to the orthodox spiritual nature of the subject matter.

While I don't think it has had an official release in America, some kind souls made it available with English subtitles. You can find a brief synopsis of the show and links to all of the episodes of the first season both with and without (in case you are a Greek speaker) English subtitles here:

It is a must watch for any Orthodox Christian but I think any spiritually minded person would benefit from watching it and learning about the life of this holy man. The second season is in production and should come out next year.

Do you consider yourself a spiritual ai?

Completely different subject, but seemingly the same calming spirit: I’ve been watching a lot of Eugenio Monesma documentaries lately. So soothing and wholesome.

I'm not familiar. I'll check it out.
