Firewalkers

Greek Firewalkers have been accused of paganism, even satanism.  But nothing will shake the dedication of these devout Orthodox Christians to the seven hundred year old tradition of the Anastenária.

What Are the Parthenon Marbles?
What Are the Parthenon Marbles?

For 2,500 years the most spectacular marble statues ever seen graced the Parthenon, atop the Acropolis in Athens. For all of that time artists, architects, mathematicians, and scholars studied and admired the Temple of Athena and her sculptures. We’ll talk history, the man who envisioned the Acropolis complex, and why the Parthenon Marbles are pride and “essence of Greekness.”
