The ciborium at Hagios Demetrios
A ciborium is a small shrine you might find in some churches, usually to old an altar or some other item of significance. This one holds the Relics of St. Demetrius, the patron Saint of the church. I’m not exactly sure what the notes are...but I imagine it’s worshippers sending prayers and wishes to St. Demetrius.
