The Kanaris estate was not a fiefdom, but the homeland itself.
And with his works he was trying to cultivate it, so that the seeds of freedom which he had planted with his first steps in the battle, when he wasn’t yet aware of the existence of Filiki Eteria.
And so, within the estate, he placed a small church as if a Sunday had sprouted up, a lilac bush, because the most sacred was to arrive after the Passions.
The church would have encapsulated within it the continuity of the Byzantine spirit, whereas most of our own had since then the erroneous impression that the Byzantium had died back in 1453, because they had even forgotten the Trebizond Empire.
But Konstantinos Kanaris hadn’t forgotten a thing.
Consequently, the church became a reality which exists even now, although it was almost burned to the ground in 1978.
And you are now seeing upon its walls four dates which help recall his first acts of bravery.
But of course you know by now that they are awaiting for others as well, so as to fill in the void of the oblivion of societies.
So when you go past this church don’t just observe it from the outside, but go inside, and see the historical facts which have created the foundational elements of the Nation, in order for you to learn how many Konstantinos Kanaris’s heroic acts were, and how we should polycyclically supplement the continuity of the bond of freedom.
