Our Lady of Tinos

Our Lady of Tinos (Panagía Evangelístria tēs Tēnou, lit. 'The All-Holy Bringer of Good News', Megalócharē tēs Tēnou, lit. 'She of Great Grace'), officially the Holy Church of Panagia Evaggelistria of Tinos, and also known as the Evangelistria Church, is a Greek Orthodox church and Greece's major Marian shrine, located in the town of Tinos on the island of Tinos, on the Cyclades archipelago, in the South Aegean region of Greece. The complex is built around a miraculous icon which according to tradition was found after the Virgin appeared to the nun, Pelagia, and revealed to her the place where the icon was buried. The icon is widely believed to be the source of numerous miracles. It is by now almost completely encased in silver, gold, and jewels, and is commonly referred to as the Megalócharē ("[She of] Great Grace") or simply the Chárē Tēs ("Her Grace"). By extension the church is often called the same, and is considered a protectress of seafarers and healer of the infirm.
