You really got that history messed up. 1054 is the year the Roman church excommunicated all of the other hierarchs (and mutually they excommunicated him). This date has nothing at all to do with Athos, other than the external context of Christianity. Mount Athos was inhabited by monks at least since the 600s (almost certainly as early as the 300s), and chartered as a monastic community first in 972 by Emperor John I Tzimiskes, and a second charter was ratified in 1046 by Constantine IX.

I always found this weird because the purpose behind this is that Mary, the virgin who birthed Jesus, landed on the peninsula and god granted it to her. The Orthodox Church then says that the reason women aren’t allowed on the land because Mary should be the only woman to own it but also because the monks need to be celibate. To me it would make more sense if only women staffed the island considering that it’s supposed to be the holy virgins land and having only men live there would seem somewhat counterintuitive to what she’s trying to accomplish. It seems more like an excuse for the monks not to have women on their land that may sway them from their prayer and mediation, which makes sense practically but goes against the whole idea of the original founding story. Why would Mary want her peninsula to be staffed by people who could hypothetically lose themselves from devotion to her at the literal sight of another woman? It seems like it would make more sense if nuns staffed it and men were banned because this just wouldn’t be an issue.
