Chapel of saint Spyridon

Feast day: December 12

A small barrel-vaulted chapel with a stepped conch. The south wall is supported by a large external buttress. The door is on the west side. Above it there is a semi-circular shallow niche and a little higher is a rectangular aperture. The chapel does not have a belfry. Instead, a metal simantron (percussion instrument in Greek) is affixed to a rough metal structure in the chapel's enclosure, near its southwestern edge. Inside the chapel, in a shallow alcove on the northern wall, saint Spyridon is depicted holding the Gospel and a burning brick, as a reminder of the miracle that took place during the First Ecumenical Council, with which he proved that the Triune God consists of three identical Persons but is One in substance and nature. In addition to the simple wooden iconostasis, there are contemporary icons in the chapel. Its feast day is on the 12th of December.
