Church of the Virgin Mary of Tenedos

Saving the post-Byzantine legacy of Imbros and Tenedos

The European Center for Byzantine and Post-Byzantine Monuments (ECBCMM) completed one of its most important projects over the summer: the conservation of the ecclesiastical equipment of two churches of Imbros (Gokceada in Turkish), the birthplace of Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew, and 42 portable icons from the Church of the Virgin Mary of Tenedos (Bozcaada in Turkish).
