Ceremony Chios Opening Primary Virgin
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the inauguration ceremony of the 2nd Primary School of Vrontados, also known as "Panagias Erithianis" (Virgin Mary Erithiani), in the picturesque town of Vrontados on the Greek island of Chios. The school, which was founded in 1911 and inaugurated in 1913, is a stunning example of neoclassical architecture, with its grand stone facade adorned with intricate details and columns. The date of the inauguration holds significant historical importance, as it took place only a few months after the liberation of Chios from Turkish oppression in 1912. The people of Chios had endured decades of foreign rule, and the establishment of this primary school was a symbol of hope and progress for the community. The ceremony itself is depicted in the photograph, with a large crowd gathered outside the school to witness the momentous occasion. Dignitaries, teachers, and students are seen in formal attire, while children in traditional Greek clothing look on with excitement and curiosity. The 2nd Primary School of Vrontados, with its beautiful design and rich history, continues to serve as an important educational institution in the community today. This photograph is a testament to the resilience and determination of the people of Chios, who have preserved their cultural heritage while embracing the modern world.
