ROOTS OF FAITH
Light a candle, before the heavy gates of the monastery shut behind you. Let your eyes feast on the deep blue sea surrounding Mt. Athos, the Holy Mountain. Follow St. Paul's footsteps around Thessaloniki, the city with the most important Byzantine churches. In Veroia you can see St. Paul's Tribune [Bema], where he preached to the Nations, and in the small village of Kastania, the Icon of Panagia Soumela [Madonna at Melas' place], the famous heirloom that refugees from Pontos [the Black Sea] brought with them. At Paeonia, Serres and Pella traditions of worship merge with nature -- even at remote mountain tops one can hear the echo of the dialogue between God and man.
MANY STORIES
In the heart of Central Macedonia, flanked by Mt. Olympus, the mountain of the ancient gods, and the wonderful beaches of Chalkidiki, Thessaloniki is living through the 24th century of its history, as colourful as the cultures that shaped it into what it is: a city of flavours and music of all sorts, a human and hospitable harbour. It is a city visitors can discover by walking through it -- from the Film Festival screenings at the old Port premises, to its Byzantine walls and the old town churches all the way down to the statue of Alexander the Great by the sea.
