In A post by Eleni Harou on her blog, we read about the feast of Saint Andrew and which churches on Kythira honor him. Here is the post:
Saint Andrew is honored in Kythira:
1) In Livadi, at Charkeas. It is one of the most significant Byzantine monuments on Kythira, dating back 1,000 years; it is cruciform in plan and features a dome in its present form. It has undergone five phases of construction. The first layer of Byzantine frescoes dates to the 10th–11th centuries. The second layer dates to the 13th century, and the post-Byzantine frescoes date to the 16th century. Archival records indicate that the Megalokonou family served as brothers and stewards of the church.
2) In Perlegianika, in Palio Pyrgos, stands the double Byzantine church of Saints Andrew and George. A tower stands between them. The church of Saint Andrew is a single-nave, vaulted structure with Byzantine frescoes from the 13th and 14th centuries.
3) In Magonezianika, in Tsikalaria, there is a small, single-aisled church dedicated to Saint Andrew.
The first photo shows our beloved grandfather, the carpenter, Ioannis Th. Veneris. Since he passed away in early February 2006 after several months of serious illness, the photo is probably older than that.
Thank you for the information. We have made the correction. It is indeed an older photograph, as the late Metropolitan Cyril can be seen in it; he had left our diocese in 2005.
