The interior of the church of the Panagia Evangelistria in Tinos, Greece.

Tinos has been a place of pilgrimage since the early 19th century, when an icon depicting the Annunciation was found there after Mary has appeared to an old man and a nun. To the old man she said:

Listen! I am the Panagia (the all-holy one). I want you to dig in the field of Anthony Doxaras where my icon is buried. I ask you to do this as a favor, old man. You will build a church there and I will help you.
