Church of Sts. Constantine and Helen

Ι. Ναός Αγίων Κωνσταντίνου και Ελένης, Χώρα, Μεσσηνία

In the town of Chora in Messenia stands the Church of Sts. Constantine and Helen, a Byzantine church dedicated to the emperor and his mother. Its presence in this corner of the Peloponnese speaks to the enduring reach of the Byzantine ecclesiastical tradition, which shaped the medieval Christian world of the region. Modest yet tangible, the church is a local landmark, a quiet link to the centuries when this landscape was defined by that faith.
