A wonderful church , a National Heritage site
Holy Church of Saint Demetrius, Patron Saint of Thessalonica的点评
点评:The subterranean area is well worth a visit, there is a well there where the body of St Demetrious was thrown. It is reputed that a strong scent of myrhh afterwards emanated from the well. The water from the well has been diverted to the upper part of the church, where tourists can fill bottles of water which is said to have healing properties. I enclose a photo of this water source, which is found in the church. I visited again this year and I still find it inspiring. However I was disappointed at the attitude of a priest, he informed me that it was not permitted to sit with your legs crossed in the church although I saw innumerable other visitors doing so. The staff at the souvenir shop are also rude to visitors who they regard as non Greeks. I was quite taken aback by the hostility so I have downgraded my rating.
翻译:地下区域非常值得一游,那里有一口井,圣德米特里厄斯的遗体被抛在那里。据说,后来井里会散发出浓郁的没药香味。井水被引流到教堂的上层,游客可以在那里装瓶装水,据说这种水有治疗功效。我附上了一张教堂里水源的照片。今年我又去了一次,仍然觉得很有启发。然而,我对一位神父的态度感到失望,他告诉我,教堂里不允许盘腿而坐,尽管我看到无数其他游客这样做。纪念品商店的工作人员对那些他们认为是非希腊人的游客也很粗鲁。我对这种敌意感到非常吃惊,所以我降低了我的评分。
