About Panagia Episkopi
The Panagia Episkopi is the past center Byzantine church building of the Greek Cycladean island of Santorini. It is likewise called Panagia tis Episkopis or Church of Episkopi Thiras. As indicated by a conventional, now totally demolished engraving, the congregation building was appointed by the Byzantine Emperor Alexios I Komnenos toward the finish of the eleventh century, and replaced a past three-aisled early Byzantine basilica. The congregation was committed to the Panagia, a Greek Orthodox epithet for the Virgin Mary.
The second piece of the name signifies "episcopal". The Panagia Episkopi was the seat of the Orthodox bishopric of Santorini until 1207 and from 1537 to 1827. The Panagia Episkopi is a beige-washed cross-in-square domed church with fringe structures. The tops of the congregation are secured with red tiles or basically put. The building has five passageways, two each toward the north and the south, and a primary access toward the west. The east-bound cross-arm of the congregation contains the sacred place, and furthermore contains a half-round apse that is conspicuous from outside.
The apse contains a mullion which, similar to the two littler windows by the apse, is loaded up with brilliant glass blocks. The red, green, yellow and blue glass blocks give the main outside light into the chancel, that is generally just lit through the opened entryways of the iconostasis, or through it from the internal piece of the congregation. North of the chancel, at the Northeast side of the building, is a limited ringer peak with four chimes that can be rung from outside utilizing chime ropes.
