Orthodox Thessaloniki

The whole of Greece is imbued with the spirit of Orthodoxy, and the city of Thessaloniki is no exception! It has a huge number of Orthodox churches, ranging from the catacombs and the very first Christian basilicas to modern chic churches! Moreover, Thessaloniki, or as it was called by the Slavs - Thessaloniki, is associated with the names of such saints as Cyril and Methodius, the founders of the Slavic alphabet, the Apostle Paul, Demetrius of Thessalun, the heavenly patron of the city, and many other saints. The city is near to every believer. In order to be enriched spiritually and to feel God’s grace, I suggest visiting the holy places of Thessaloniki! The trip will be rich and interesting, during which you can leave notes in temples, drink holy water and get acquainted with the city. You will understand why Greeks prefer to get married rather than to paint in the registry office, learn how the sacraments of baptism are held, why Greek churches have chairs, why Greek women do not cover their heads in the temple and much more.
