Look what I found in my garage!

[Suzannah]

This is just a gift for everyone. I was cleaning out a section of the garage and found this. This is the church in Athens that I visited in 1978. The one where I was scared to go to services. I bought this from an artist on the street in the square near the church. I remember wanting this so badly that I used up all my cash at the time. I didn't a shore leave for a couple weeks after that. It has been with me all this time and I had forgotten completely about this:

Oblio: On the back is handwritten (not my handwriting, must be the artist) :

The Agoura
Vidabeth

Is Vidabeth a Greek name?

 

[Matrona]

How cool is that!

 

[Oblio]

I wonder ?

 

[Photini]

Wow...what a blessing.

 

[Momzilla]

How very cool!

 

[Sergius_Lucius]

Really great!

If anyone recognizes this church, I would love to know the name of it.

Hey Sergey, I posted a photograph of a Russian church painted by Anatoly Krasnyanski. I will send you the link. Maybe you can tell me if you recognize it?
Thank you, my friend!!!!


And thanks to everyone for enjoying this with me!

Suzannah, it's so beautiful.

Chanter: I wish I knew which one it is....I tried looking on the internet and there are just so many churches in Athens it's next to impossible to tell...one almost looked like it but the trees in the photo obscured so much of the front it was hard to say...But I do take comfort that it does exist and there are people in that church every Sunday praying for "all Orthodox Christians everywhere"...that means us??? Right???

Susannah, I hope you realise I am breaking my fast to post this , but I thought I would direct you to a couple of sites which you could browse through and hopefully find it yourself.

Greece - Ministry of Culture (scroll down to "C" for churches)
Harry's Athens Guide

Note that many of them will look similiar because they follow the same design priciples. Anyway, knock yourself out
