Feast of Taxiarchis — Mantamados

Mantamados Monastery

One of Greece's most important pilgrimages, centered on the relief icon of Archangel Michael at the Monastery of Mantamados — said by tradition to have been molded from the blood and clay of martyred monks in the 10th century. Pilgrims arrive from across Greece for the vigil, the liturgy, and the traditional offering at the monastery.
