This text is an excerpt from the work At Christ’s Castle by Alexandros Papadiamantis, specifically from the passage “The Illumination of the Castle and the Church.” It describes the arrival of a group of people at an old, isolated castle. The group, including Father Fragoulis, reaches the iron gate, where they are welcomed by the guards, among them Argyris of the Miller’s family, who recounts how they had once been trapped in the snow.

After entering the fortress, the narrative focuses on the abandoned Church of the Nativity of Christ, the former metropolitan church of the stronghold, where those present begin the preparations for the Divine Liturgy. The text concludes with a rich and detailed description of the church’s iconography, including Christ Pantocrator, the iconostasis, and scenes from the lives of the Saints and the Dodekaorton, highlighting the spiritual rebirth of the space through light and worship.
