Zoodochos Pigi, Athens, Orthodox church in Athens, Greece
The Zoodochos Pigi church features an octagonal narthex with four crosswise central vaults and architectural elements representing Eastern Orthodox design principles.
Architect Dimitrios Zezos constructed this religious building in 1846 on the foundations of a former katholikon church that had collapsed around 1890.
The name translates to Life-giving Spring in Greek, reflecting the Eastern Orthodox tradition of holy water and its connection to spiritual renewal.
Located in central Athens at coordinates 37.983379, 23.73259, the church maintains regular services and welcomes visitors throughout the year.
The marble floor decorations display geometric patterns that connect this church to other Byzantine structures from the late 12th century period.
