The Holy Sepulchre in Dialogue with Humanity: Antonia Moropoulou at KAM

The scientist behind the restoration study of Christ's Tomb in Jerusalem speaks at the Grand Arsenal. Fri 13 Nov, 18:30, in Greek.

Few people alive know a monument as intimately as Antonia Moropoulou knows the Holy Sepulchre. The Professor Emerita of the National Technical University of Athens led the interdisciplinary NTUA team and was scientific lead of the study behind the restoration of the Holy Edicule, the shrine over Christ's Tomb in Jerusalem. In Chania she talks about monuments as carriers of historical memory, culture and spiritual inheritance, with the Holy Sepulchre at the heart of it. The evening is organised by the Orthodox Academy of Crete as part of its research project To Evlogon: the Academy's director general Dr Konstantinos Zorbas gives the welcome and Metropolitan Amfilochios of Kissamos and Selinos closes it. It is held at 18:30 in the Centre of Mediterranean Architecture, the Venetian Grand Arsenal on the old harbour by Katechaki Square, the talk is in Greek, and the Academy invites the public to come along.
