And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. Faithful is he that called you, who also will do it.
Thessalonians 5: 23-24 Paul was writing to a group in this city. He seems to comment alot about the Second Coming of Christ Thessalonians 1:10, 2:19, 3: 13-18, 5: 23.
It was designed by French architect
Ernest Hebard.
He was invited to design the city after
a spark from a kitchen fire fell on a pile of dry straw
was ignored
and burnt down two thirds of Thessaloniki .
It is now known as
The Great fire of 1917.
It burned for 32 hours
taking
9,500 homes,
leaving 70,000 homeless.
If you press on the picture you will see that I am looking at the harbour with several large ships and a sprawl of modern city buildings.
The 3 to 4 miles is well used by cyclists and walkers.
Far in the distance a red brick theater backs the grey form of a war ship , destroyer Fletcher.
Disarmed in 1991.
It was built in the shipyards of Boston and served in the USA navy with the name Charette.
It is open to the public to view.
Parks line the walk way with the deep restless sea held back with a wall.
Further on others have left their locks. A couple were taking a picture of them/theirs?…
