Little St. Anne's Skete or the Minor Skete of St. Anne (Greek: Σκήτη μικρή Αγία Άννα, romanizedSkiti Mikri Agia Anna) is an Orthodox skete on Mount Athos, Greece.[1][2]

Cells[edit]

Some cells in the main area of the skete include:[3]

  • Anastasis Christou
  • Apostomis Timiou Prodromou
  • Kimiseos Theotokou

Notable residents[edit]

Notable monks who lived at the skete include St. Joseph the Hesychast and his brotherhood, including disciples Arsenios the Cave Dweller, Ephraim of Arizona, and Joseph of Vatopedi.[4] The hermitage of St. Joseph the Hesychast can be reached via a narrow footpath through a forest, which branches off from the main path connecting Little St. Anne's Skete with the Skete of Saint Anne.

Elder Gerasimos of Mikra Agia Anna [el] is currently the hegumen of the skete.
