Greek-Byzantine echos.....
Athos The Holy Mountain
Moni Docheareos
12th century frescoes bearing the traces of their age but insisting in conveying their message for faith to another world of eternal peace and Divine Providence.
They make a modest but harmonious blend with a well, a primitive but still present day elaborate way of securing water in Greek villages.

Wonderful faces on the images! Associated with faces on the icons of Andrei Rublev and Theophanes the Greek, created at about the same time.Regards
