What Crimson, Lavender and White Mean Together
Crimson is the Byzantine fresco — the deep vivid crimson of the most sacred Orthodox monastery painting. Byzantine fresco tradition at Meteora: the Meteora monasteries (the most immediately dramatically elevated and the most comprehensively vertically extreme Orthodox Christian monastic communities in the world — founded beginning approximately in the 14th century CE — during the most important period of Byzantine monastic expansion — by the most immediately spiritually motivated and the most comprehensively ascetically disciplined of the Thessalian Orthodox monks who sought the most dramatically isolated and the most completely inaccessible rock pillar sites as the most immediately perfect expression of the most specifically Hesychast monastic tradition — the most immediately contemplative and the most comprehensively inward-focused of all the Byzantine Christian monastic spiritualities) contain the most immediately impressive surviving examples of late Byzantine fresco painting outside of the most important Greek mainland and Mount Athos monastic sites. The crimson in Byzantine frescoes: the most characteristic and the most immediately theologically specific color in the Byzantine fresco tradition — the deep vivid crimson (produced from the most important Byzantine red pigment: the most specifically brilliant vermilion — mercuric sulfide — HgS — the most immediately luminously vivid and the most comprehensively color-stable of all the ancient red pigments — providing the most specific and the most immediately brilliant crimson for the most sacred and the most immediately theologically important figures in the Byzantine iconographic programme) is the most directly associated with the most important sacerdotal and the most immediately imperial Byzantine figures — the deep crimson mandorla surrounding the most important Christ Pantocrator being the most immediately theologically specific and the most comprehensively sacred of all the Byzantine fresco color applications. Lavender is the Meteora morning mist — the pale medium lavender of the most ethereal Greek landscape. The Meteora natural spectacle: the Meteora morning mist (the most immediately ethereally beautiful and the most specifically photographically famous natural atmospheric phenomenon of the Thessaly plain — occurring most dramatically in the most specific autumn and early spring seasons — when the most precise meteorological conditions — the most completely still air, the most specific temperature inversion, and the most immediately dense morning humidity of the most enclosed Thessaly plain — produce the most instantly dramatic and the most comprehensively beautiful atmospheric mist effect: the most dense pale lavender-to-pale-gray morning mist filling the most completely the Thessaly plain to approximately 100-150 meters above the plain surface level — creating the most immediately beautiful and the most comprehensively ethereal 'floating monastery' visual effect — the Meteora rock pillars rising from the most completely mist-submerged plain like the most dramatically vertical and the most immediately impressive islands in the most pale lavender sea) is one of the most immediately beautiful and the most comprehensively specific natural spectacles of any Greek mainland landscape. White is the Meteora limestone — the pure luminous white of the most dramatically elevated Thessaly conglomerate. Meteora geology: the Meteora rock formations (the most immediately dramatically vertical and the most comprehensively geologically specific of any rock formation associated with an inhabited monastery complex in the world — composed of the most specific Paleogene — approximately 60 million years old — Thessaly conglomerate — a sedimentary rock consisting of the most specifically rounded river pebbles and cobbles cemented in the most characteristic sandy matrix — deposited in the most comprehensively ancient delta environment of the most important Thessaly basin in approximately the Pliocene — subsequently uplifted, tilted, and the most dramatically eroded by the most specific combination of freeze-thaw weathering, river erosion, and tectonic activity to produce the most immediately impressive vertical rock pillar formations of the present Meteora landscape) present the most immediately dramatically pale white-to-cream eroded sandstone surfaces — the specific pale white of the most perfectly exposed and the most weather-polished Meteora conglomerate pillar surface catching the most immediately beautiful morning light in the most specifically dramatic and the most immediately ethereal quality of the post-mist Thessaly plain early morning.

The first monks: according to the most immediately available historical sources, the first monks to use the most dramatically elevated Meteora rock pillars as spiritual retreats were the most immediately spiritually motivated hermit monks of the most specifically Hesychast monastic tradition (from Greek: ἡσυχία — hesychia — 'stillness' — the most specifically contemplative and the most comprehensively inward-focused of all the Byzantine Orthodox monastic spiritualities — developed most immediately by Gregory Palamas — 1296-1359 CE — the most immediately famous and the most comprehensively theologically specific Hesychast theologian — whose most important theological formulation: the distinction between the divine essence and the divine energies — the most immediately controversial and the most comprehensively theologically specific doctrine of Palamism — became the most immediately important and the most comprehensively defining theological position of the Eastern Orthodox Church in the most critical 14th century CE).
