INTRODUCTION GENERALE

‘Lord Jesus, son of God, have mercy on these cities,
the islands and the villages of these… holy monesteries
which are scourged by the worldly touristic wave.
Grace us with a solution to this dramatic problem
and protect our brethren who are sorely tried
by the modernistic spirit of these western invaders.
Amen.
(A prayer by the Greek Orthodox Church)
(Turner & Ash, 1975 : 35)’
