Monastery of the Annunciation in Patmos, Greece
Patmos Churches & Monasteries - The Monastery of the Annunciation in Patmos, Greece is a renowned religious site located in the island's southwestern region, just behind Chora. Initially, a humble chapel hermitage, the monastery underwent a renovation by Nikiforos, an abbot of the St. John monastery, in 1613. It was then dedicated to Luke the Evangelist. In 1937, the monastery saw further expansion as it welcomed new buildings built by the monk Amfilohios Makris, who later founded the Monastery of the Annunciation. Today, the monastery houses over 40 nuns who not only engage in prayer but also social work, beekeeping, gardening, and Byzantine embroidery using the "spark" technique.
