"A Place of Irrelevance" by Omer Messinger

A woman lights candles in Saint Nicholaos (Nicolas) church, in the coastal village of Petra. S. Nicholaos, patron of those who go out to the sea, is the Islands main saint. It seems that the people of the Island have an inseparable bond with whatever the sea provides them- For better or worse.
