The island of Tinos has great religious importance for Greece, due to the church of the Annunciation of the Virgin that is found in the capital. This church is considered as the patron church of all Greece and the icon of the Virgin hosted there is believed to have miraculous properties.
Thousands of pilgrims come every year on Tinos to knee this Holy Icon and pray. Every year, on August 15th, there is a grand festival to honor this church, the greatest religious festival in the country. A Holy Mass is carried with much glory and the miraculous icon is toured around the town and the harbor, over the heads of the pilgrims. To show their faith, many people walk on their knees from the port to the church.
