Artist's Description

- This is Panagia Faneromeni,( – “Mother of Christ that has revealed herself to us”, in Greek!) – probably the newest Christian Orthodox Church in the whole of Attika ( Athens). It is located in one of the most beautiful and select areas of the Athenian Riviera, called VOULIAGMENI en route to Sounion and approx. 15-17 Kms from the centre of Athens.It was commisioned and built by a greek shipowner and was finished and had its inaugural Mass on the 14th of May 2011.!! The Archbishop of Athens Presided over and gave the Mass. Hundreds of people attended and the whole of the inside of the church and its courtyard were absolutely full.! A really magical experience.. I am very lucky to have been there….
I find this a wonderful architectural sight and a fantastic and so attractive modern interpretation of the Traditional Greek Church that I intend to upload some more shots to reveal the full picture as regards this Church and its majestic and, what is in my view, an imposing appearance…!! ! – I wonder whether you agree with me..??!
