Qué alegría ver que el templo del San Nicolás en Ziros ya está restaurado, con sus frescos medievales limpios otra vez. Me llamó la atención el trabajo del conservador Emmanuel Achladianakis, que se nota que lo hizo con verdadero cariño. Ojalá pueda ir algún día a ver el resultado y rezar ahí.

Mă bucur că au curățat frescele alea vechi din naos, se vede că domnul Emmanuel Achladianakis a pus suflet cu adevărat. Părintele George Fytrolakis, bătrânul nostru preot pensionar, merită și el o mulțumire că a ținut totul în viață atâția ani. O să încerc să ajung la Ziros vara viitoare, să văd cu ochii mei cum arată acum.

Рад за этот храм в Зиросе, особенно что фрески наконец почистили как следует. Эммануил Ахладианакис молодец, видно, что не просто отбыл номер, а реально вложился. Интересно, когда там можно будет спокойно приехать посмотреть, не в праздник ли лучше?

I liked hearing how Mr. Emmanuel Achladianakis worked so hard cleaning those old frescoes; you can tell he really cared. Father George Fytrolakis keeping the place going all those years as the retired priest deserves a thank you too. Maybe next spring when the birds are back I’ll try to visit Ziros and see it quiet, not on a feast day.
