Country Chapels of Skopelos

• Country Chapels of Skopelos, White lilies in the corners of our remembrance,

when we are far. Summoning for peace and faith when we are close.

Liturgies and vigils. The venerable fathers , the sweet – voiced cantors.

Frankincense and pine , scents which marked our childhood All so different and so very alike

A little place full of sacred corners Humanity’s works or nature’s you wonder.

Inside their little warmth, you are welcomed,and you do not regret even a bit the respect that they

command.
