The church of Virgin Mary in Tinos island, in the "blue" hour. Cyclades, Greece

---

One of the most important pilgrimages in Greece in the 15th of August (the Assumption of Mary), and one of the major attractions in Tinos islands is this church, the church of Virgin Mary, in Greek "Παναγιά της Τήνου" (Panagia tis Tinou), or "Παναγία Ευαγγελίστρια" (Panagia Evangelistria) or simply "Μεγαλόχαρη" (Megalohary). The icon inside the church is considered by believers as a thaumaturge icon, and you can see thousands of oblations hanging around it.
