I have an amazing little booklet available I wanted to offer to my readers for purchase which would make especially great reading for Great Lent. Recently I was commissioned to translate some beneficial writings of Righteous Alexei Mechev, but it didn't fall through and I was left with a bunch of booklets I would like to now sell instead of counting my losses. Please order today!

Panagia Gourlomata of Leros


Located in Drimonas on the island of Leros is the fourteenth century Church of Panagia Gourlomata, which is famous for its icon with a wide-eyed expression of the Virgin Mary. Gourlomata literally means "bulging eyes". The church itself was built with material from more ancient structures and it is especially known for its old and beautiful frescoes. It specifically dates to 1327 A.D. The church celebrates its feast on August 15th.
