Dear Readers and Supporters: Last March I told you about an anonymous long time friend and supporter of this ministry who fell on hard times, and a generous portion of you volunteered to help her financially to prevent her eviction and car repossession. Unfortunately, once again she and her child are in a similar difficult position, though a little bit worse. I hate to see this happen to her and not try to help in any way. So if once again you can help out with a financial contribution, it would be greatly appreciated. You can contribute to her through the link below. My hope is that we can raise around $3000. Thank you.
Day 6: Total So Far: $790

Panagia Gourlomata of Leros


Located in Drimonas on the island of Leros is the fourteenth century Church of Panagia Gourlomata, which is famous for its icon with a wide-eyed expression of the Virgin Mary. Gourlomata literally means "bulging eyes". The church itself was built with material from more ancient structures and it is especially known for its old and beautiful frescoes. It specifically dates to 1327 A.D. The church celebrates its feast on August 15th.
