One of the objectives of the Friends of Mount Athos is
"the advancement of education of the public in the study and knowledge
of the history, culture, arts, architecture, natural history,
and literature of the Orthodox monasteries of Mount Athos and
the promotion of the religious and other charitable work
of the Holy Community and monasteries of Mount Athos".
In keeping with those objects, the society produces publications,
arranges lectures, and organizes conferences, pilgrimages, and exhibitions
devoted to Athonite themes. It also supports other organizations
by promoting events consonant with its own charter and the interests
of its members.
