== Histoire ==
The Pantokrator Monastery is located near the Monastery of [[Stavronikita Monastery (Athos)|Stavronikita]]. The monastery was founded about 1357 by Alexios the Stratopedarch and John the Primikerios. They are buried at the monastery. Their monastery was built on the ruins of monastery of Ravdouchou that had been plundered by pirates during the years of Frankish occupation after the Latin conquest of Constantinople in 1204.

The [[katholikon]] within the monastery walls, which dates from the fourteenth century, is dedicated to the Transfiguration of Our Lord. Due to a paucity of space the [[church]] is small. It is of Athonite style and has frescos painted by artists of the Macedonian school. The murals were restored in 1854 by the painter Mathaeos of Naousa.

The [[refectory]] was built in 1841. The monastery also has eight [[chapel]]s within its walls and seven more around the monastery placed among the many [[hermit]] huts. The skete of the Prophet Elijah also belongs to the Pantokrator monastery. 

Pantokrator monastery was seriously damaged by a fire in 1773 and was repaired by the vestry keeper Kyrillos. Damage from a 1948 fire was repaired by the Restoration Service.
