ΤΑ ΕΝ ΤΟΙΣ ΣΠΗΛΑΙΟΙΣ ΕΥΡΙΣΚΟΜΕΝΑ ΟΡΘΟΔΟΞΑ ΑΙΤΩΛΟΑΚΑΡΝΑΝΙΚΑ ΠΡΟΣΚΥΝΗΜΑΤΑ - ΤΑ ΣΠΗΛΑΙΑ ΩΣ ΑΝΑΠΤΥΞΙΑΚΟΙ ΠΟΡΟΙ - ΓΙΑΝΝΗΣ ΖΑΒΙΤΣΑΝΑΚΗΣ THE ORTHODOX AITOLOAKARNANIAN PILGRIMAGES IN CAVES - THE CAVES AS DEVELOPMENT RESOURCES - YIANNIS ZAVITSANAKIS
Όπως προαναφέρθηκε, η έκδοση εντάχθηκε στις δράσεις της Ιεράς Μητροπόλεως για τα 200 χρόνια από την ηρωική Έξοδο του Μεσολογγίου. Το σκεπτικό, απλό: Ο αγώνας για την Ελευθερία, είναι κοινός…
είτε πρόκειται για το μέχρι θανάτου αγώνα των Μεσολογγιτών για την αποφυγή του Οθωμανικού ζυγού, με αποκορύφωμα την ηρωική Έξοδό τους, …
είτε πρόκειται για την προσπάθεια του σύγχρονου ανθρώπου να απαλλαγεί από τις επίπλαστες ανάγκες και προτεραιότητες που η σύγχρονη ζωή κυρίως στο αστικό περιβάλλον δημιουργεί καλλιεργώντας του φονικό άγχος, με την επιστροφή του στη φύση και μάλιστα στις πιο αγνές και ανέγγιχτες γωνιές της που είναι τα σπήλαια, …
είτε πρόκειται για τον πνευματικό αγώνα ανθρώπων που θέλουν να απαλλαγούν από την καταδυνάστευση των παθών και της αμαρτίας, βιώνοντας την Ορθόδοξη Μυστηριακή Ζωή σε μονές, εκκλησιές και ασκηταριά, που μάλιστα βρίσκονται μέσα στη φύση και ιδιαίτερα εντός σπηλαίων, στη μήτρα της μάνας Γης.
My eighth book has been published. After the event - presentation of February 16, 2025, which was my first collaboration with the Holy Metropolis of Aetolia and Acarnania under its new leadership, an event that was honored with his presence by our new Metropolitan, most esteemed Mr. Damaskinos, after our joint actions to save the hagiographies of the 2 caves of Agios Nikolaos Kremastos, which was our second collaboration, the time has come for our new, third collaboration.: The material of that event entitled The Orthodox Aitoloakarnanian Pilgrimages In Caves – The Caves As Development Resources, formatted into a book with the same title and published with funding of the Holy Metropolis of Aetolia and Acarnania, following a relevant decision by our Metropolitan Mr. Damaskinos himself, as part of the actions of the Holy Metropolis for the 200th anniversary of the heroic Exodus of Messolonghi. Once again, I warmly thank him for his appreciation of my work. I wish continued success in our collaboration. The book records and presents, in 118 colored pages, with 150 photographs and sketches and with detailed descriptions, the cave monasteries, cave churches and cave hermitages of our Prefecture. It also presents caves as resources for development, an analysis distilled from the knowledge and 25 years of experience of the researcher author on the subject, as well as the characteristics and peculiarities of the Greek and Aetoloacarnanian speleological field and, also, clarifies the method of practice and the purposes of Speleology.
As mentioned above, the publication was included in the actions of the Holy Metropolis for the 200th anniversary of the heroic Exodus of Messolonghi. The rationale is simple: The struggle for Freedom is common …
whether it is the fight to the death of the Messolonghi people to avoid the Ottoman yoke, culminating in their heroic Exodus, …
whether it is the effort of modern man to free himself from the artificial needs and priorities that modern life creates, mainly in the urban environment, cultivating deadly anxiety, by returning to nature and indeed to its purest and untouched corners, which are the caves, …
whether it is the spiritual fight of people who want to free themselves from the oppression of passions and sin, by experiencing the Orthodox Sacramental Life in monasteries, churches and hermitages, especially those located in nature and even more so in caves, in the womb of mother Earth.

Τις θερμότερες ευχαριστίες μου στο σεβασμιώτατο Μητροπολίτη μας Αιτωλίας και Ακαρνανίας κ. Δαμασκηνό, που καταφέρνει να βρίσκεται παντού και να είναι αρωγός κάθε θετικής και αξιόλογης προσπάθειας όπως η συγκεκριμένη. Είναι η δεύτερη συνεργασία μας, μετά την εκδήλωση – παρουσίαση της 16ης Φεβρουαρίου 2025, την οποία και τίμησε με την παρουσία του. Σύντομα, θα δημοσιοποιήσουμε τα νέα για την τρίτη συνεργασία μας.
The document received March 5, 2026, from the Ephorate of Paleoanthropology - Speleology. We did our duty, everything that depended on us, for the restoration of the hagiographies of the two caves of the very important monument of St. Nikolaos Kremastos, 7-10 centuries after their creation. Now, we are waiting for the response of the competent Authority, which has shown very good reflexes in similar moves we made for other monuments in the past. And we are available, of course, to assist its work in every possible way. Of course, regarding this specific request, we understand that this is a major project that requires organization, planning, perhaps funding from a program, etc. Even the distance from Messolonghi, a 20-minute drive and 45-minute hike to the monument, which must be covered every working day by the team, is a difficulty that requires management.
My warmest thanks to our most venerable Metropolitan of Aetolia and Acarnania, Mr. Damaskinos, who manages to be everywhere and to be a supporter of every positive and worthwhile effort such as this one. It is our second collaboration, after the event - presentation of February 16, 2025, which he honored with his presence. Soon, we will publish the news about our third collaboration.
