VILLAGESKyparissia CHURCH OF THE PANAGIA (VIRGIN MARY) Perched on a hill overlooking the basin of Megalopolis, the Church of the Panagia in Kyparissia is set within a gated courtyard along with the old school. It is a well maintained whitewashed building with a red roof and pretty stone detail around its base. Red and white are colours which have meaning in the Orthodox Church. White is the symbol of the heavenly realm and God's divine light - the colour of cleanliness, holiness and simplicity. Red, frequently used in icons, is the colour of heat, passion, love and life-giving energy, and for this reason, is the symbol of the resurrection - the victory of life over death.
