St. Nektarios and St Fanourios Monastery

This is another young monastery, this time built from m scratch by a community of nuns who now number about 20.
The 1st 2 pictures are of the church and main building. While beautiful, these are not the surprising aspect of this place.
Upon entering trough the gate, you proceed down stairs to a sign marked catacombs. Turn left, and enter through a door. Then follow a winding corridor as if in the catacombs of Rome. I'm told this is a faithful reconstruction of a section of the actual catacombs of Rome. The walk through the catacombs ends in the reception room of the convent. The last 4 pictures were taken at various points in the catacombs. I hope these give a good sense of this.Leggi altro
