In recent years a fruitful collaboration has developed between the Holy Metropolis of Grevena and the Mount Athos Center. Every year, during Great Lent, the Mount Athos Center stages an art exhibition in the Metropolis’s Cultural Center. Father Christos Kourtis, who is in charge of the Metropolis’s catechetical schools and youth activities, undertakes the organisation of visits and educational programmes.     

The Mount Athos Center, in collaboration with the Municipality of Eordaia and the Ptolemaida Association of Graduates of 1968, presents the exhibition of photographs by Giorgos Poupis entitled ‘Exaltation. The Cross in the Land of Mount Athos’ in Ptolemaida, the town in which he grew up.

The exhibition forms part of the ‘ELEFTHERIA 2024’ celebrations organised by the Municipality of Eordaia and is being held under the aegis of the Holy Metropolis of Florina, Prespes and Eordaia.     

 

The Mount Athos Center is soon to open an exhibition of painting by Konstantinos Kerestetzis entitled ‘Watercolours of Mount Athos’ in the Center’s exhibition space. The exhibition will be officially opened by Mr. Stelios Angeloudis, Mayor of Thessaloniki and President of the Mount Athos Center’s Board of Directors, at 19.30 on Tuesday 25 June 2024 in the garden of the Mount Athos Center (Nedelkos Building, 109 Egnatia St., Thessaloniki).
