Athens, Greece. 18th January 2015. Ilias Psinakis (left), the mayor of Marathon and the head of international public relations for the Central Union of Municipalities (KEDE), George Patoulis (middle), the Mayor of the Athens municipality of Marousi and president of KEDE, and his wife (right) hold up candles. The Central Union of Municipalities called for a vigil outside the new Acropolis Museum for the return of the Elgin Marbles to Athens. The marbles from the Parthenon are held by the British Museum since their removal from Athens in the 19th century. The vigil coincides with the return of part of the marbles from the Hermitage Museum in Saint Petersburg, where they were on loan, to the British Museum.
