VILLAGESKastanohori CHURCH OF THE PANAGIA (ALL HOLY) The Church of the Panagia in Kastanohori is a subtle white-on-white experience offering views of the power stations on the plain of Megalopolis. Initially, it is not very inspiring but as you hone in on the details of the pediment above the north door, you might change your mind. A door is a place of transition, a means of moving from one place to another. It shares in two places at once, the outside and the inside, and so represents Christ: "I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved..." But what do the lion, the rope designs and the eastern-looking temple façade symbolise?
