Saint Spridion Αγιος Σπιριδιον




"Saint Spiridion was the patron saint of the island. His mummified body eas enshrined in a silver coffin in the church, and once a year he was carried in procession round the town. He was ver powerful, and could grant requests, cure illness, and do a number of other wonderful things for you if he happened to be in the right mood when asked." (G. Durrell "My family and other animals")

Em va fer gràcia llegir aquest fragment del llibre ahir mitja hora més tard d'haver entrat a l'església i haver vist el sarcòfag amb el Sant.

Μου άρεσε να διαβάσω αυτό το απόσπασμα του βιβλίου μισή ώρα μετά εγώ είχα μπεί στήν εκκλησία και είχα δεί το φέρετρο του.
