EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Church of St. Therape, also known as Agios Therapon, in Mytilene, Lesbos, Greece. The image, estimated to date back to circa 1908, portrays a serene and tranquil scene of the picturesque Greek church nestled along the waterfront. The church, with its distinctive onion-shaped dome and intricate stonework, stands proudly against the backdrop of the azure Aegean Sea. The Church of St. Therape holds significant historical and cultural importance for the people of Lesbos and Greece as a whole. Mytilene, the largest city on the island, has a rich history that spans back to ancient times. The Ottoman Empire controlled the region from the late 15th century until the late 19th century, leaving a lasting impact on the architecture and culture of the area. Despite the Turkish influence, the Greek Orthodox faith remained strong in Mytilene, and the Church of St. Therape stands as a testament to this resilience. The church's name, Agios Therapon, translates to "Saint Healer," reflecting the community's deep devotion to the saint. The photograph also offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the bustling port of Metelin, with its traditional wooden boats and the vibrant colors of the nearby buildings. The image invites us to imagine the hustle and bustle of daily life in this beautiful and historic Greek town, as people went about their business, attended church, and interacted with one another. Today, the Church of St. Therape continues to be an essential part of Mytilene's cultural and spiritual landscape, drawing visitors from around the world who seek to experience the rich history and beauty of this remarkable Greek island.
