With the Archbishop of Athens

The President of our Community Mr. Pantelis Demosthenous and the Great Benefactor Mr. Panikos Herodotou had visited in mid April 2010 His Beatitude the Archbishop Ieronymos of Athens and All Greece, in order to inform him of our sacred project.

Bell Tower... in fire

The Bell Tower is well bricked.

Some of the bricks up there are red.

Thus, the Bell Tower gives now the impression that fire from the earth is going up towards the heavens to meet with the burning tongues of the Holy Spirit.

Bricklaying is visibly continuing this week, especially around the Bell Tower.

Timber frame on the roof

The timber frame started today being fixed on the barrel roof.

During next week this work will progress rapidly.

A skilful and certainly fearless specialist was also working on the very top of the Dome, preparing it for another layer of wood.

Small dome in the front

Various specialists had been working in our new Church today.

I visited the site in the afternoon and I found the bricklayers working around one of the two small domes of the facade.

Some workers were assisting the bricklayers and were also attending various other works on the roof.

Up on the roof...

...again today, to have a closer look at certain parts of the building.

One of the arches was fitted on the Bell Tower yesterday and looks good.

The Dome has now been nicely covered by the various layers of insulation and wood.

Arches

A “hand of God” is on site today and places the new arches on the top of the windows.

The arches came ready made and they are being placed where they belong by our usual staff and by some specialists who came especially for this.

They actually look very attractive and they will beautify even more our splendid building.
