Patmos designated UNESCO Monument
The northern Dodecanese island of Patmos, in the eastern Aegean, was officially designated a UNESCO World Heritage Monument during a special ceremony on Sunday. Events marking the historic moment for Patmos, where St. John the Evangelist authored the New Testament's Book of Revelations, took place at Xanthou square in the island's main community of Chora. The first Centre of Orthodox Culture and Information in Greece was also officially inaugurated on Sunday to mark the island's designation as a World Heritage Monument by UNESCO. The centre will be equipped with special audiovisual displays in five languages, a touch screen info-kiosk providing information on Patmos and links to Internet sites with content related to Orthodox culture worldwide.
