The “Colours of Orthodoxy. Greece” project is carried out with the blessing of the heads of the Orthodox Churches in Poland and Greece: Sava, Metropolitan of Warsaw and All Poland, and Hieronymos II, Archbishop of Athens and All Greece. The main goal of the project is to promote Greek Orthodoxy in Poland, Greece and around the world (the project does not concern to Holy Mount Athos). We want to achieve this goal by publishing an album, organizing an international photo competition and photo exhibitions as well as by other forms of cooperation that may arise during the project.
The project called “Colors of Orthodoxy” has been carried out for 12 years and each year is dedicated to a different country (Albania, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Finland, Georgia, Poland, Russia, Romania, Serbia, Europe and the Holy Land). 11 albums were published and many exhibitions were presented in 16 countries around the world.
