The municipality of my area approved my idea and i am almost ready to start building the Proskinitari. Using Vue photorealistic software i created the following illustrations for the creation of the Proskinitari.
The Proskinitari is not actually a chapel. Usually it is a small construction resembling to a chapel or a larger scale church. We find them in many places across Greece or Cyprus. At these places passerby can stop, take a breath, make his cross, light the candle make his cross and make a request to the Saint of the icon inside the proskinitari.
Every Proskinitari is devoted to Virgin Mary or to a Saint for an accident or an incident that happened at that spot. Perhaps at that places others lost their lives or some people were saved in a miraculous way.
