MWM: Santorini

Mornings With Mary





Photo Source





I stayed on the island of Santorini, Greece in 1975 for a week. Most cruise ships stop for a few hours. Since I was staying with a friend in Crete for a month, I took a ferry to this amazing remote island. In Greece, churches are found on every peak and so many peaks on this island created from volcanic explosions. Pristine blue Mediterranean sea surrounds. The streets are steps as much as pathways. It has a most holy feel to it. The island feels blessed. Shrines to Mary are hidden in walls and coves and cover the cemeteries. Each gravestone has a shrine on top including items from the person's life. Very moving to see. The island has an airport now. Maybe one day I can show my husband.
