What it is
A declaration signed by the leading monks of Mount Athos affirming that the light of Tabor was uncreated and that the saints genuinely participate in God.
Why it lasted
The corporate statement of the hesychast position, endorsed by councils in 1341 and 1351 and thereby made Orthodox doctrine.
Where to read it
Public domain and free to read in full, though not held here. The archives below have it.
These open a search on each archive rather than a direct link, which is the honest way to point at an edition nobody here has checked line by line.
