Today our Holy Sanctuary apse looks
amazing. The Virgin Platytera has now a golden halo, the appropriate background
colour as well as the right inscription.
On either side of the Platytera’s head
the iconographer Theodoros Vogdanos has painted a flying angel with open wings
and in very bright colours.
Each one of those angels holds a
scroll, which contains words and phrases (in Greek) from
the Service of the Salutations to Blessed Virgin Mary!
The scroll of the angel on the left
reads: «Rejoice, shelter of the world that is wider than the
cloud»! The
scroll of the angel on the right reads: «Rejoice,
for you hold the One who holds everything»!
