Still today, a long-lasting procession, in honour of Saint Panteleymon, leads, once a year across the mountain, to a cave, where squirts, it is said, by the cracks of the rock, a holy water.
Sliding between the ancestral mannerism of the faithful, the centuries-old olive trees, the abandoned houses and the elderly byzantine icons, the camera spreads thus out layers of a millennial history.
