Saint Spyridon church, Argostoli, Kefalonia, Greece


The church of Saint Spyridon, one of the most central city churches is in the middle of the central pedestrian walk of Argostoli, Lithostroto. If you are here, do not hesitate to step inside and admire the gold, carved wooden temple that was transferred to Saint Spyridon in 1953  from the Cathedral. The devastating earthquake almost levelled the building, but the temple was rescued and brought here, where it has remained ever since. The memorial litany is made for the victims of earthquakes every year in Argostoli and it starts from here.
