From the 4 until the 7 September
there was a great photographic exhibition in North London (Dugdale Centre,
Thomas Hardy House) with a unique theme, The Greek Orthodox Cathedrals and
Churches of London.
There are 23 Greek Orthodox
Cathedrals and Churches in London. However, the photographer immortalised not
only the buildings and the icons with his camera, but also the people, whether
they were priests, chanters, helpers, or faithful who were present during the
Divine Liturgy.
Alexios Gennaris who is the
exhibition’s photographer, visited and photographed all 23 churches. This
endeavour took him exactly one year to complete, from January to December 2015.
This exhibition was organised by Alexios Gennaris and James Neophytou
(Exhibition Producer).
On a personal note, I would like
to thank Alexi for his great work and for including a picture of myself, whilst
chanting at All Saints Greek Orthodox Cathedral, Camden Town.

exhibition, do not worry. There are more photographic exhibitions to follow:
