Back to newsThe Church of Saint Paisios was inaugurated on Saturday evening in Crete, drawing large crowds to the ceremony. Saint Paisios of Mount Athos is a widely venerated modern Greek Orthodox saint, and newly built or consecrated churches dedicated to him attract significant community gatherings. If you are visiting the area, the church is now open to the public and worth a visit for those interested in Orthodox Christian architecture and local religious culture. As with all Greek Orthodox churches, modest dress is expected: covered shoulders and knees for both men and women. Entrance is generally free. The inauguration marks the church as a new addition to the religious heritage of the region.
