Miles</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/martin-m-miles/55523252612/" title="Hosios Loukas"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55523252612_d38938262c_m.jpg" width="240" height="180" alt="Hosios Loukas" /></a></p> <p> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> The monastery of Hosios Loukas was founded in the early 10th century AD by the hermit, Venerable Luke of Steiris, whose relics are kept in the monastery to this day. A church dedicated to Saint Barbara, which forms the core of the present-day church, was likely built during his lifetime.<br /> <br /> The monastery derived its wealth from the fact that the relics of St. Luke were said to have exuded a sort of perfumed oil which produced healing miracles. Pilgrims were encouraged to sleep by the side of the tomb in order to be healed. <br /> <br /> At the heart of the monastery complex lie two interconnected churches: the Katholikon and, on slightly higher ground and adjoining to the northeast, the Theotokos Church. The Katholikon, the main church dedicated to Saint Luke and dating from 1011, represents a type of church that was new at the time. This elongated rectangular structure is a cross-in-square domed church, a style otherwise characteristic of medieval Armenian architecture. <br /> Its plain exterior walls are constructed of brick and ancient stone blocks, the latter possibly transported here from Delphi. The interior contrasts sharply with the rugged exterior; the church is spanned by a fresco-adorned dome with a diameter of nine meters. <br /> <br /> <br /> The Nativity <br /> On the left are Magi looking up for the star, <br /> on the right the midwives do the first bath.</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/142005760@N07/">gorrion9</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a
