RE: Discovering Crete - Part 3, The Monastery of Odigítrias I

in #photography7 years ago

Thank you for the mention @alexdory!
These are Greek letters and they mean 'Holy Temple of Virgin Mother the Odigitria' which means Virgin Mary the Leader (probably deriving from a very old Icon)
This monastery was first built during the 14th century.
You can read more about its history here and @shaka thank you again for sharing your beautiful memories and photos of my island!

Hey @alexdory and @katerinaramm, thank you both for joining in with these great additions! That's what I love about Steemit :)
