Dimitsana Calendar 2002

Summary

The 2002 Dimitsana calendar, issued by the Brotherhood of Dimitsanites, focuses on the four seasons and views of Dimitsana. The introduction explains that the photographs were selected to depict Dimitsana in winter, spring, summer and autumn. Pictures and captions refer to stone lanes, churches, traditional mansions, monasteries, the castle and the Lousios Gorge. Identifiable subjects include Agios Georgios at Platsa, the Xeniou residence and Aimyalon Monastery. The Brotherhood also comments on the connection that residents and people living elsewhere maintain with their hometown. Editorial and photographic contributors are identified in the opening pages. This calendar places its main emphasis on seasonal appearance and recognizable places, rather than offering a detailed study of the monuments or their construction history. The publication combines the annual date grids with selected local material and now records the subjects highlighted by its editors at the time.
