Relics of Christianity in Imaret of Komotini
The Ecclesiastical Museum houses ecclesiastical objects from the churches of the Metropolis of Maronia and Komotini, as well as donations from the refugees they brought with them from their unforgettable homelands. The museum is supervised by the Holy Diocese of Komotini and Maronia.
The exhibits are portable icons, vestments, sacred utensils and manuscripts. They date from the 16th to the beginning of the 20th century.
The collection was established in 1962 and was initially hosted at the Metropolitan Palace of Komotini and in 1987 at the ecclesiastical housing "The Three Hierarchs". The Museum was established in 1996 by decision of the Holy Synod of the Church and publication in the Government Gazette. The museum has been operating since 1999. The Ottoman monument Imaret was granted for its housing.
