Pe platoul celei mai Ã®nalte dintre stÃ¢ncile Meteore, cu altitudinea de 613 m, se aflÄƒ mÃ¢nÄƒstirea cea mai reprezentativÄƒ din tot ansamblul, cunoscutÄƒ sub numele de Marea Meteora, cu hramul Schimbarea la FaÅ£Äƒ. Fondatorul acestei mÃ¢nÄƒstiri a fost SfÃ¢ntul Atanasie Meteoritul, venit aici din Muntele Athos. El a Ã®ntemeiat pe aceasta stÃ¢ncÄƒ o micÄƒ sihÄƒstrie pe care o transformÄƒ in 1344 intr-o lavrÄƒ, vestitÄƒ pÃ¢nÄƒ in zilele noastre.

Title	The Great Meteora
Translation English Translated by iepurica	Target language: English On the top of the highest cliff of the Meteora cliffs, with an altitude of 613m, is placed the most representative monastery of all the assembly, known by the name of "The Great Meteora", patronated by the holiday "Transfiguration of the Lord". The founder of this monastery was Saint Anastasie of Meteora, who came here from the Athos mountain. He constructed, on this cliff, a small hermitage which was transformed by him in 1344, in a vast monastery, famous till present.
Remarks about the translation	"Transfiguration of the Lord" is both an orhodox and a catholic relligious holiday, kept on 6 of August. Our churches (the ortodox ones) have usually a patron saint or they are patronated by a specific holiday.
