Ancient cruciform font at Panagia Ekatontapiliani…

Parikia is the main town in the island of Paros in the Cyclades. The church in which this ancient font is preserved is one of the most important Christian monuments in Greece.
The original church was constructed in the 4th century A.D. Many reformations were performed through centuries and today the church is a complex of Paleochristian, Byzantine and post-Byzantine elements. The name Ekatontapiliani means 'the Church with the hundred doors'. According to tradition, the church has 99 doors and a secret door will open when the church of Hagia Sofia in Constantinople becomes Orthodox Christian again.
The ancient Baptistery in which the cruciform font is situated dates back to the 4th century. It is said to be the most ancient and the best preserved baptistery of the orthodox Christian East. It was, obviously, designed for the use of adults wishing to be baptised as Christians.

Alyki is a village on the southern tip of Paros, an island in the Cyclades. This wall niche was probably intended to hold a religious image or icon. There are many such niches in this part of the world, and most of them still serve their original purpose.

Alyki is a village on the southern tip of Paros, an island in the Cyclades. The ground is dry, and water is precious. There are strong winds from the sea which help to keep the temperatures down. These may however have a drying effect on the crops wich can be seen in the field beyond the tree.

Alyki is a village on the southern tip of Paros, an island in the Cyclades. The ground is dry, and water is precious. The majority of the buildings are white, which presumably helps to keep the internal temperatures down. Photographers have to be aware of 'dynamic range' issues.
