Iviron Monastery
Iviron Monastery is an Eastern Orthodox monastery on Mount Athos in northern Greece, founded around 980 by Georgian monks, John the Iberian and his son Euthymius, with support from the Byzantine emperor. Its name means 'of the Iberians', that is, the Georgians. It was a major centre for translating Greek theological works into Georgian, and Greek monks later took it over.
