The new cathedral, also dedicated to St Georgios, was completed in the 1830s. It is the largest cathedral on Mount Athos. The marble icon screen was constructed, together with the religious throne and the altar ciborium, from 1845 to 1847 by sculptors from the island of Tinos, an island which still has a high reputation for its school of sculpture. Some of the marble came from Tinos, while others came from the local quarries of Kausokalyvia on Athos. The frescoes are recent works of the well-known workshop at the Monastery. The new cathedral hosts the miraculous 14th-century icon of the Panagia Hodigitria ('The Virgin Mary, The Leader or Guide'), which came to the Monastery from Vatopedi Monastery in a wondrous way in 1730.
