EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the serene beauty of the Monastery of Hosios Loukas (Venerable Luke) on the slopes of Mount Helicon. Nestled between Delphi and Levadia in the Gulf of Corinth, this holy site holds a special place in Greek history as one of the earliest locations where levitation during prayer was witnessed.
