Far from being museum relics, Greek sacred art forms live on in the vernacular tradition. This lecture examines how icons, votives, embroideries, and other ritual objects continue to evolve under changing historical pressures. We look at 19th- and 20th-century folklore scholarship, the tension between “survivals” and living practice, and the interplay between Orthodoxy, local custom, and personal devotion. Case studies from across Greece show how sacred art remains adaptive, functional, and embedded in community life.
