Ossios Loukas Monastery photo copyrighted by: Brian McMorrow The monastery derived its wealth (including funds required for construction) from the fact
that the relics of St. Lukas were said to have exuded myron, a sort of perfumed oil which
produced healing miracles.
The naos is the main part, and in the back is the alter and apse, featuring images of Jesus
Crucified and Mary with baby Jesus.
