A glimpse of a small miracle. The dropped German bomb stuck deep in the church foundation. But it didn't detonate. ☮️🕊️🍀

The Miracle of St. Minas - During the Second World War, a bomb hit the Agios Minas Cathedral on May 23, 1941 - but it did not explode. The frightening explosive device can still be seen today on the northern forecourt of the cathedral.
