Panagia Kera



The Panagia Kera Church, Crete was constructed over eight-hundred years ago and is regarded as one of the premier tourist attractions in Crete. This is because the Panagia Kera Church, Crete is home to spectacular murals that have strangely withstood the ravages of time and weather.

One of the medieval architectural splendors of the world, the Panagia Kera Church, Crete constitutes three divides that partition the Church from the nave with the help of imposing towers. All the three divisions comprise artwork that depicts moving scenes from Christian legends. The division in the middle of the Panagia Kera Church in Crete in Greece displays paintings of the Virgin Mary who is seen with a beautiful halo crowning her head. The halo in the mural underscores her purity. The portraits in this division are the most ancient.

The division on the southern side of the Panagia Kera Church in Crete is adorned with wall paintings that have undergone the least amount of damage with the changing seasons and time. The artistic representations in this section of the Panagia Kera Church, Crete relate poignantly the life of Anna, the mother of Mary and the grandmother of Jesus. The third partition portrays images of Saint Anthony and different events of the Parousia during which Jesus was supposed to have manifested Himself again as the Assessor of the Last Judgment.

According to the annals of history, the Venetians were supposed to have had control over the administration of Crete when the Panagia Kera Church, Crete came into being. But because the rulers had an extremely tolerant outlook, they didn’t mind the architectural nuances of the Greeks and permitted them to design their chapels and churches in the way they preferred. A fascinating edifice encompassed by groves of trees and serene environs, the Panagia Kera Church, Crete captivates the hearts and minds of its visitors and generates in them, a feeling of reverence and awe.
