A Tour of a Greek Monastery

One rainy day with umbrellas in hand

we took a tour of a

GREEK MONASTERY

We had to dodge the puddles

Upon entering the first chapel we noticed

gold necklaces, bracelets and rings

hanging on a wire in front of

a magnificent icon

We were told

a part of the person's soul

is left with the jewelry

Everywhere you looked

beauty caught your eye

There were many charved thrones

The skies are not co-operating

"Women" are required to cover their bodies!

We even had to have our arms covered

We were given long skirts to put over our slacks

We also had to cover our heads with scarves

I must add...........................

We offered to take our daughter to the Monastery

Once we told her how women must dress

that was the end of the story for her

Little rain drops on the flowers

Natural light

Each chapel took your breath away

The grounds were graced with several fountains

Taking a moment

Palm trees out in the desert

Oh, what do I see?

Blue skies!

This is my favourite photo

If you happen to come to the Monastery

with open toed shoes

you are given a pair of socks

and

You wonder why my daughter

refused to go!!!

What do you think about this chapel?

You will not guess what it is

THE CONFESSIONAL

Once inside the door you walk up

many, many steps to the top where

you enter the booth!!!

An eye-filling reflection

A masterpiece

A resident cat

We were asked not to take photos

of the resident 'humans'

The girls were getting giddy

Friends

The sun is going down

The end of a first-class day

LIFE IS GOOD
