| 801_9506 [Holy Trinity Chapel] |
This beautiful little chapel, found at a height of 600 meters on Mt Parnitha, is located in an environmentally privileged area and constitutes a highlight of Ippokrateios Politeia: A community of 1000 people lives permanently there in more than 600 houses. This chapel occasionally hosts under its roof believers from this community and certainly constitutes a highlight for crowds of visitors who come here in search of natural beauty.
The interior

| 801_9525 [Holy Trinity, the interior] IMHO, the view of the interior is rather disappointing. It stands between simplicity and … lack of interest. It would be nice, I think, to see some changes for the better some time. A structure nearby  Opposite the entrance to the chapel - only a few meters away - one can see an elegant little structure that offers fresh water to the passers-by. If close enough, they can read an inscription on its face that reads: “ΝΙΨΟΝΑΝΟΜΗΜΑΤΑΜΗΜΟΝΑΝΟΨΙΝ” It’s a Greek phrase that can be read from left to right or from right to left and means: “Wash off your sins. Don't wash your face only”. All photographed on Mt. Parnitha on April 30, 2015 Please click on the pictures for a better view. |
