Tinos Greek Island, Greece (6/13-15/2009) - Thousands of faithful Greek pilgrims come to Tinos to pray before an icon in the Cathedral Panagia Evangelistria.

They have hundreds of steps up to the Cathedral Panagia Evangelistria and people crawl up the long road on their hands and knees (see photo) to show their faith.  

The Greek Island of Tinos is where in 1882 a nun had repeated dreams of the Virgin Mary appearing and telling her where a 10th century cross was buried. When they went there, they dug down and found it. It was considered a miracle and they built the massive Catheral Panagia Evangelistria.

We visited the Cathedral day and night, watched people crawl the mile long road, and saved some of the water believed to have healing powers. We put some of the 'sacred' water on us at this beginning of our new nomantic life style and we have been healthy and safe so far.

We liked Tinos Town at night and enjoyed Tinos’ beautiful villages (Panormos, Loutra, and Pirgros where had milk pie) and so-so beaches (Kolimbithra, Rohari, Kionia, and Agali Fokas). Tinos is also famous for having 600 dovecoves on the island built hundreds of years ago to house pigeons (see photo).
