African Art Exhibition

The Orthodox Foreign Missionary Brotherhood, since its foundation in 1963, has been lovingly embracing the peoples of Africa by providing spiritual and humanitarian aid. The late founder and great benefactor Panagiotis Papadimitrakopoulos, with zeal and long-lasting effort, collected valuable items from fellow missionaries who had received them from natives as gifts. With great emotion, our Brotherhood exhibits for the first time to the public these items collected by the pioneering missionaries Fr. Chrysostomos Papasartopoulos, Fr. Athanasios Anthidis, Fr. Chariton Pneimatakis, Patriarch Peter VII, Bishop Nektarios Kellis, Fr. The aforementioned have shone the unstruck light of the Orthodox Christian faith on the souls of our brother peoples, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. The mind travels to the past… It touches the daily life of Africans in the form of works of art and manual tools used for hunting and other living needs in their jungle thatched huts. The aesthetic depiction of the works shows that the arrow of their intellect was aimed at the pursuit of the artistic fine, touching perfection.
