My wife and I are currently on holiday in Greece, having met up with our eldest daughter and her husband who are visiting from the U.S.
We were incredibly blessed to discover a relatively new church here in Thessaloniki, a 30 minute walk from where we are staying, dedicated to the Dormition of the Theotokos. We came for a vigil service a few days (nights) ago and then again for the feast day. The church is huge and is absolutely beautiful inside. There are still a few walls, columns and ceilings that have yet to be frescoed but the bulk of the church is already finished. We were in tears the first the we walked in.
