Жемчужное ожерелье Санторини - Pearl necklce Santorini

Inga Ivanova

Санторини — остров со множеством церквей. Сколько же церквей, часовен на Санторини? Одни источники сообщают, что более 300, другие -- 600. Hа этом небольшом острове существует более 300 православных храмов, церквей и часовен.

In addition, family churches were built so that women could pray for the safe return of their fathers, husbands, brothers and sons from sea voyages in the absence of men. Countless Orthodox churches and temples can be found in the most unexpected places - on a cliff, on the top of each mountain on the island, in a field among vineyards ...
