Roof painting

The roof of the new Church entrance is being painted for the last couple of days.


It really needs three coats for the white paint to show nicely on that roof.


The person painting is Adrian, a Romanian young man who works devoutly at our Church for quite some time.


At some point in the future we may decide to paint that area with a different kind of painting; probably byzantine icon-painting or at least some kind of byzantine decorations.

Icon-screen and icons in place

The icon-screen is now in place in our new Church.


It is a magnificent piece of art which symbolically unites the present Church with the Kingdom of the Heavens.


It is the work of Mr. Eugenios Amanatides and his family from Thessaloniki.


It was donated to our Church by Mr. Panicos Herodotou and his family.


Many of the icons are also in place. The remaining ones will come at a later stage.


The very beautiful icons have been painted in Athens by the experienced icon-painter Mr. Tilemachos Tsoumpris.
