The '''Dochiariou Monastery''' is located on the southwestern coast of the Athos Peninsula in northern Greece. It is ranked tenth in the hierarchical order of the twenty monasteries located on the peninsula. As is case of the other institutions on [[Mount Athos]], life at Dochiariou is coenobitic.

==History==
The origins of Dochiariou Monastery can be traced to the tenth century. The circumstances of its founding are varied. One variant is that the monastery was originally founded near the port of [[Daphne (Athos)|Daphne]] at the end of the tenth century by Euthymios, who was a pupil of St. [[Athanasius the Athonite]], and a "dohiaris", that is one who made "dohia". Another attributes the founding of the monastery to the [[monk]] Daniel of Dochiariou between 1030-1032. Another, that it was named after a monk, Athanasio Lavrioti, who was responsible for the keeping of the wine and oil supplies.

The [[monastery]] went into decline shortly after its founding, probably plundered by pirates during the years of Frankish occupation of Mount Athos after the Latin conquest of Constantinople in 1204. The surviving monks then began the present monastery. During the fourteenth century Dochiariou received support from emperor John Paleologos V and Stephen IV of Serbia. The [[katholikon]] for the monastery was built in the mid sixteenth century (1568) with financial aid from Alexander and Roxandra of Moldavia and John Lapousneanos. Then during the occupation of Mount Athos by the Ottoman sultan during the Greek war for independence in 1821, Dochiariou lost all its property.

The katholikon, which was built on the foundation of an earlier church, is dedicated to the [[archangel]]s, Ss. Michael and Gabriel. The feast day is [[November 8]]. The church style follows that of the other Athonite katholikons. The katholikon is the largest among those monasteries on Mount Athos. The murals in the katholikon were done by George the Cretan in 1568, with further work done in 1783. The refectory was built at the same time as the katholikon. The murals in the refectory were done in 1675. There are ten [[chapel]]s in the monastery.

==Treasury==
The Dochiariou monastery library holds 441 manuscripts of which 395 are catalogued, 100 codices, and 1,500 printed books. The monastery also holds many valuable [[vestments]], [[liturgical objects]], and [[relics]] of [[saint]]s. Also, among the treasures is a fragment of the True Cross and the [[icon]] of the [[Panagia Gorgoepikoos|Virgin Gorgoepikoos]] which is in the chapel near the entrance to the Katholikon that is dedicated to the [[Theotokos|Panagia]] (Virgin Mary).

Fondatorul acestei mânăstirii a fost cuviosul Eftimie prietenul Sf. Atanasie cel Mare (1070). Arhanghelul Mihail a descoperit unui tânăr o comoară pe metocul acestei mânăstiri. Tânărul acela a spus Egumenului ce i se arătase, iar Egumenul, a trimis împreună cu tânărul încă alti doi ucenici, ca să descopere comoara si s-o aducă la mânăstire. Cei doi însă au socotit că ar fi bine să le rămână lor comoara si asa au legat o piatră mare de grumazul tânărului aceluia si l-au azvârlit în mare. Apoi au luat comoara si, ascunzând-o, au spus către Egumenul mânăstirii că n-au găsit nimic, iar pe tânărul acela nu stie ce s-a făcut, că au fugit fără să-l fi văzut.

Pe când însă tânărul era în fundul mării si îsi pierduse simtirea, i s-a arătat aievea doi tineri strălucitori la fată: erau Arhanghelul Mihail, si Ingerul păzitor al tânărului, iar cel din urmă a zis către Arhanghel: Dacă tu binevoiesti, Arhanghele, scapă pe acest tânăr nevinovat. Tânărul ud cum era, si cu piatra de gât s-a pomenit deodată în mijlocul Bisericii Dochiarului unde a povestit Egumenului ce i s-a întâmplat. Astfel ucigasii au fost descoperiti, si siliti au adus comoara, cu care s-a zidit mânăstirea dându-i numele de Sf. Voievozi. Iar piatra care a fost legată de gâtul tânărului se păstrează si astăzi zidită în M-tire.

Mânăstirea mai are si o icoană făcătoare de minuni, care se numeste; "Grabnică, Ajutătoare" în fata căreia ard 4 candele mari de aur trimise din Rusia. In interior mai sunt 10 paraclise. Moaste sfinte are: părticele din trupul Sf. Haralambie, ale Sf, Mercurie, capul Sf. Teodor si altii.

Printre ctitorii acestei mânăstiri este si Alexandru Lăpusneanul, domnul Moldovei cu sotia sa.
