VILLAGESKrioneri
CHURCH OF SAINT JOHN
In Krioneri the area around the church has undergone a make over to turn it into an attractive amenity incorporating a new village hall. Such communal buildings leading onto a church's courtyard are a very practical arrangement, but also an iconic way of relating the parish's activities to worshippers.
     The church is dedicated to Saint John the Baptist, who bore witness to the coming of the Messiah. The Greeks also teach that, following his death, John descended into Hades where he continued to preach that Jesus was coming. He was, therefore, the Forerunner of Christ in death as he had been in life.
