  4. Are the doors always open on such churches, for people to go in to visit or to pray in silence?

  5. Every village has a church to adorn it. I love Elafonisi. I have collected some sand of every colour,put it into a glass jar and i see it every day.

  7. Thanks for all the good answers.

    And I love all the cut-out figures (also called icons?) in the cave church of John the Baptist.

  8. Wo Maria/M. Kiwi, that is interesting what you wrote me about the memorial cakes! I went now to read about Persephone--fascinating mythology it is. So she is now the harbinger of spring?
    I see why pomegranates would not be so popular for eating. Opening them is a lot of work, time-consuming. And chewing a spoonful and then spitting out the seeds, well. . .
