The Non-Governmental Organization "Solidarity" of the Church of Greece, in its effort to preserve, protect, and primarily highlight the works that constitute an expression of cultural creation, has embraced with particular warmth and interest this publishing endeavor of the newspaper "Ethnos".

This publication represents an experiential journey aimed at promoting the culture of our country. It is a series of publications containing significant information about the Churches, Monasteries, and Chapels of our land, a pilgrimage of faith and culture, a journey through history marked by the creations of devout individuals from the past.

Christian artists who transformed their faith into works of their hands and marked the landscape with the metaphysical meaning of their belief. The promotion and highlighting of all those cultural monuments, including ecclesiastical ones, that over the centuries have adorned and continue to adorn our homeland and have been associated with significant moments in its history is the duty of us all.

All surviving ecclesiastical monuments are an invaluable treasure, and it is each of our responsibilities to study the history, artistic value, and spirit that they express. Our hope is to assist the modern traveler in discovering the hidden treasures of Greece through the Orthodox Christian monuments, which are scattered throughout the Greek countryside and perhaps inspire them toward a direction of gentle and quality domestic tourism.

The purpose of this publishing series, which has been realized under the auspices of the Non-Governmental Organization "Solidarity" of the Church of Greece, is to help today’s visitor, traveler, and pilgrim to visit these monuments, experiencing the history and culture of each place.

We hope that this publication will become a useful companion and an essential guide for modern travelers and pilgrims.
