Summary/Abstract: The Burning Bush Movement at the Antim Monastery represented a unique case of symbiosis between laic intellectuals and monasticism, which promoted a spiritual form of anti-communist resistance centred on the practice of the Prayer of the Heart. The activity of the “Burning Bush of the Mother of God” Association during the mid-1940s consisted in weekly conferences on various subjects of theology and apologetics. Debates were doubled by participation in religious services and prayer, which created both a specific spiritual ethos and functioned as a missionary coordinate. While exploring the missionary and monastic ethos belonging to the “Burning Bush”, the paper attempts to inquire the validity and importance of such a model to nowadays monasticism.
