The narrative of Season 1 begins on July 25, 1924, in the Greek village of Farasa, Cappadocia (in modern-day Turkey) with the birth of a boy named Arsenios Eznepidis, who would later become Saint Paisios. His birth coincides with one of the most traumatic events in modern Greek history: the population exchange between Greece and Turkey that followed the Greco-Turkish War (1919-1922), which led to the forced uprooting of Greeks who had lived in Asia Minor for millennia.
