2,000 years of Living Religious Tradition Greeks express their deep faith to the Trinitarian God, their worship to Virgin Mary and the saints, and their trust to the Church as an institution, as Christ’s body and genuine guardian of the Christian faith and life. In every corner of the country, from Epirus, Macedonia and Thrace to Crete and from the Ionian to the Aegean Sea, religious traditions and customs, religious celebrations and festivals are an integral part of the people’s daily life. Christianity met Hellenism and bonded in harmony, in a 2,000-year living, worship tradition, creating the unique global phenomenon of the Christian Hellenic culture. Today, Greece, with respect to religious sentiment and the visitor-pilgrim’s modern needs, is expecting you for an unparalleled, spiritual journey into history and culture, a revealing life experience in the truth and values of Christian faith and wisdom, Hellenic philosophy and culture.
