time ago i came across a lovely person..Despina from Greece...ok, she came
across me actually...and I couldnt have resisted her offer...and im glad to know
that i was the guilty person to have introduced her to Postcrossing and to have
given her back the addiction for a mailbox full with cards! It is such a noble
feeling you know...coz at least I know how Postcrossing has changed my life ever
since I discovered it...
and one of the
results of meeting each other was this lovely card arriving in my mailbox...a
great place with a cool and rather scary story...Nekromanteion means 'Oracle of
Death' and according to the ancient Greeks this was the entrance of the souls to
the underworld. When Christianity came to the area, a church was built on top
of it, and that's what you can actually see on the card.
The temple was
dedicated to Hades and Persephone.
I wonder through what sort of gate my soul
would go through one day...
And I must say i love to have a card from Greece
which shows something different from the usual places ive seen so far.
Btw,
just after I uploaded the card, i noticed that big Hellenic Post stamp on front
of the card...I dont know what it is doing there...and more over, I wonder how i
hadnt noticed it while looking at the card previously....anyways, it does blend
with the card nicely, so i dont mind it :)
the stamp was
issued in 2008, representing the logo of the Asteras Tripolis F.C. football
club.
Efharisto para poli Despina!!
