Our Lady of Tinos, Greek Orthodox pilgrimage church in Tinos, Greece.
The white marble church stands near the port with a broad staircase leading to its Renaissance-style entrance and silver-adorned interior containing religious artifacts.
The construction of the church began in 1823 after a nun named Pelagia discovered an ancient icon of the Virgin Mary buried in the ground.
The church serves as Greece's primary Marian shrine, where thousands gather annually to honor the Virgin Mary through processions and ceremonies.
Visitors reach the church via a long carpet-covered path from the port, with special ceremonies taking place on January 30 and August 15.
Many faithful pilgrims approach the church on their knees, crawling along the red carpet path from the port to demonstrate their devotion.
