The Mount Athos Center took the initiative to display, in cooperation with the Photography Museum of Thessaloniki, on the premises of the Museum, a segment of the archive of photography of Fred Boissonas concerning the Holy Mountain. The photographs that were presented at the exhibit comprise a representative selection from the two missions of the Swiss photographer to Athos in August of 1928 and October of 1930.
With a wealth of more than 100 photographs, the well-known photographer George Poupis presented the procession of the miracle working icon “Panagia Portaitissa” (Mother of God –the Gate Keeper), which takes place every Tuesday after Pascha at the Holy Monastery of Iviron on Mount Athos.
On April 5 of 2003 in building C of the Port of Thessaloniki the exhibit “Manuel Panselinos From the Holy Church of the Protaton” was opened, which the Mount Athos Center organized as part of the exhibits of the “Cultural Olympics”.
