VILLAGESDimandra
CHURCH OF THE PANAGIA (VIRGIN MARY)
The west door of the main church in Dimandra is indicative of a problem shared by many Greek churches that were built without any heating or air-conditioning. When subsequently installed, outdoor condensing units and flues to get rid of smoke are often unsympathetically sited!
     The sanctuary at the east end of the church is the first thing you see from the road. This is due to the west-east orientation of the church with the western entrance symbolising the darkness of sin (the West) from which the faithful emerge into the light of truth (the East).
