Zoodohou Pigis (Lifegiving Water/Well) Church
This amazing little Church can be found behind the Laguna Beach Hotel. I saw the signs for this Church from last year in August, but I could never find it, somehow it eluded me. I found it eventually a few days ago and here are some pictures. I'll let the pictures do most of the talking, thanks, enjoy! :-)

You can see Laguna Beach Hotel in the background, a few hundred metres from the Church. |

The small room next to the Church is full of Icons and you can light a candle and say a prayer. |

Very interesting and inspiring collection of Icons. The big one on the left (Ierosolomitisa/Jerusalemite) and the smaller one in the middle of Mary and little Jesus are very impressive! |

Notice the Greek flag rolled up and tucked away at the top... |

It's facing East towards Jerusalem. |
I was very glad to find this small Church after such a long time of trying to find it. It's a very special place! Till next time then, cheers! :-)
