Agios Theofanis Church - Lesbos

At the east coast of the island Lesbos, in a small town called Sigri, we walked past a church called Agios Theofanis Theophanes Sugrianis lived in the 16th century and became known as a monk and spiritual leader during a period when the island was under Ottoman rule. His name is still spoken with respect by residents of the region. Inside, the church turned out to be richly decorated, with traditional golden icons and oil lamps that are characteristic of the Greek Orthodox, almost mystical architectural style. Take a look with us inside the church.
