Scenic St. Nicholas Chapel at Georgioupolis, Crete


This extraordinary little chapel, located about 100 meters into the sea, serves as divine protection for those who sail out into the blue waters of the Sea of Crete. St. Nicholas Chapel is situated on a small rock formation off the western end of the popular eight kilometer long beachfront of Georgioupolis on the Greek island of Crete. The chapel is dedicated to St. Nicholas because he is the patron saint of sailors, protecting village fishermen, and this chapel also serves as a place for families to pray for their safe return. Though Georgioupolis was a fishing village up till 1990, today it mainly serves as a popular holiday destination. This chapel is also popular for wedding ceremonies.

Support the Mystagogy Resource Center

For more than fifteen years, the Mystagogy Resource Center has been a labor of love dedicated to making the riches of the Orthodox Christian tradition freely available to people throughout the world.

Thousands of articles, translations, lives of saints, theological reflections, historical resources, and daily materials have been published across this ministry’s websites, all offered free of charge for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the Orthodox faith.

This is a one-man ministry that requires countless hours of research, translation, writing, editing, and maintenance each day.

If this work has spiritually benefited, educated, encouraged, or inspired you in any way, I humbly ask you to consider supporting this ministry financially.

Generous annual and monthly benefactors make possible the continuation and expansion of this work for the future, for without such support this ministry cannot exist.

Every contribution, whether large or small, truly makes a difference and is deeply appreciated. May God bless you abundantly for your generosity and prayers.
