Welcome to the Parish Museum of the Holy Cross of Apollon - "Great Mystery"
A few Words about the Museum and its Purpose
The museum was established in 2025, and its collection of relics includes items of exceptional quality and artistic value.
The exhibition is titled "Great Mystery" and is based on three pillars, presenting the relics with a narrative approach as works of art, as carriers of stories and legends, and as living components of the folk religious events of the life of Apollon. Thus, the items in the collection are presented through the lens of ecclesiastical arts, the legends and stories that accompany them, as well as the historical context in which they were created or the stories that accompany them unfolded.
The aim of the Parish Museum of the Holy Cross of Apollon is to preserve and showcase the rich and significant collection of relics of the parish, which have been preserved through the centuries. At the same time, to highlight the stories of the items in the collection, which outline the tumultuous history of Rhodes and Apollon, through an experiential, narrative museum process.
