Happy Birthday Dione @sangwann, this one is for you.
I visited this Orthodox Church today and while it’s not as large or grand as the ones you’ve been visiting I think it’s very beautiful. I hope you like it!
About a year ago I posted a picture of the exterior of a church that I had discovered near where I live and today I actually got to look inside. The church is attached to a Greek Cypriot centre and today they held a May fair in the grounds. It was a lovely day with Greek dancing, music, sports, craft stalls etc and I took a chance that the church would be open.
The priest was very nice and welcoming and was happy for me to take as many photos as I wanted to. The ceiling shows the story of Christ’s life.
Thank you for sharing this. I have to say that it is very different to those I saw around Athens, although the way the paintings are distributed along the ceiling are very close to those I saw. And the church overall looks very big and beautifully. Fav.
