Daniela Dobre It looks good under the sun. The church is dedicated to Saint Demetrius, right?
Елена Соколова Yes, precisely in honor of St. Demetrius. And the walls are made of that local yellow stone, which is mined in a quarry near Athens; it holds the heat well.
Marius Matei Yes, that yellow stone holds heat well. The build looks solid.
Tamara Pavlović The yellow stone from that Athenian quarry shows really well, I see that they have already finished part of the roof. I heard that the old marble for altar slabs is still being quarried in the area.
Photini Campbell The yellow stone really seems to be holding up well in the heat. It's dedicated to Saint Demetrios, right?
Марина Волкова Yes, the stone from that quarry near Athens really holds its shape well, I read that it was used in ancient times for churches in Attica. The roof is almost completely covered, and soon the dome will be installed.
Μιχάλης Αθανασίου Yes, the yellow stone looks solid. Does anyone know when services will begin there?
