★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The Metropolitan church of Ypapanti, is an amazingly beautiful cathedral, located in the historical center of Kalamata, the capital of Messinia, on the foot of Kalamata's Castle. This magnificent Byzantine-style church was built in 1839 and inaugurated in 1879.
The Holy icon of the Virgin Mary (Ypapanti) is located here and it is considered as the patron saint of the city. Due to this, a big celebration is held here every 2nd of February, a date that is considered as a local holiday. The icon is dated to 672 AD and it was discovered in this area during the Ottoman rule. It is respected not only by the local residents of Kalamata, but by all the Greeks due to the numerous miracles that have been attributed to it.
The whole site is very inspiring and it is highly recommended to visit it for anyone who visits this beautiful city!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The Greek Orthodox faith is so strong that even in the time of COVID-19 they will put on a mask prior to entering the building, then line up and take the mask off to kiss the 3 icons by the alter. Belief defies logic in so many respects. But it remains a peaceful place to sit, observe, and contemplate.
