Greece - Kalavryta, Cathedral of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary

Greece - Kalavryta, Cathedral of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary
The Holy Cathedral of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary is located in the central square at the heart of the village. The church was built in the period 1730-1750 and then burned by the Ottomans in 1826, rebuilt, but was destroyed again by the Germans in 1943.

The clock on its left belfry is stopped at the time - 14.34 hours - of the Nazi atrocity in December 1943, while on the right a new clock measures the time since the liberation from the Germans. A plaque reads “The hour of destruction left a scar on time. The silenced clock will always read disaster and death, blood, fire and pain at the exact hour the lament began. December 13, 1943” On the second clock tower a plaque reads “The Holy Cathedral of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary was set on fire by the Ottomans in 1826. Was set on fire again by the German on December 13th 1943”.

Al abrir la imagen me pregunté el porqué dos relojes y con distinto horario. Leída la información encuentro su sentido, principalmente moral, rechazo de toda violencia. El bombardeo de una población civil e inerme se ensayó sobre Gernika, Durango y otras poblaciones vascas y luego se aplicó en ciudades europeas. Las fotos son, como la información, magníficas, Jaap.
