NUNNERY
OF THE
Holy
Trinity
What
is called the 'German road' leads east of Loutraki and after 10 km. of fine
scenery brings us to the nunnery of the Holy Trinity, set amid the serenity
of the verdant forest. The nunnery was founded in 1962 on a site which since
1933 had been occupied by a chapel built by the nun
Christodoule. It is a dependency of Esphigmenou
Monastery on Mt Athos, and follows the Old Calendar: Today there are seven
nuns. Nearby are the chapels of Our lady 'Zoodochos Piyi' (1969), of Sts
Cosmas and Damien, and of Our lady 'Aghia Skepe'.
Also in the vicinity is the spot known as Golgotha, where there are
schematic depictions of the divine drama.
