My favorite village.

A beautiful church in a picturesque village

Church of St. Nicholas in Xanthi.

Beautiful picturesque church in the main square of the village with towering bell tower that dominates the village!

I.N. Saint Nicholas built in the shape of the three-aisled basilica built before 1800. The temple has been recently repaired with new frescoes on the walls. As the Commissioner informed me, there were no frescoes at all. The temple screen and the pulpit are old but they are taken care of and cleaned by the women of the village so that they do not tan. Several pictures have been inserted to preserve glass. In the picture of Archangel Michael writes 1710 while next to Saint Athanasius writes November 30, 1850 The iconostasis needs maintenance as it is eaten by the lion. The grandparents claim that the church dates from 1700. The columns of the church are wooden without capitals and the woman's column has been completely repaired. The marble floor is above the mosaic that existed on the floor. Every year on the Day of Lights, the image of the baptism of 1810 comes out of the church and goes into all the houses to worship it and those who have not been able to come to the church.
