    "DIA CHIROS" School of Hagiography of the Holy Metropolis of Demitriados   The University   The School of Hagiography "By hand" of the Holy Metropolis of Demitriados started its operation in 1999 on the initiative of His Eminence the Metropolitan of Demitriados and Almyros Mr. Ignatius.

Graduates of the School have already opened their own workshops and successfully undertake the work of painting the Holy Temples of our Metropolis, as well as other areas.   Studies   The duration of study at the School "By hand" is four years. During these four years, for four hours every afternoon, a dense curriculum is followed, which includes theoretical and practical courses.

Along with learning iconography at the "By Hand" School, there are a few more departments. First of all, there is the Art Conservation Department, which operates under the supervision of the Margaritov family. The responsible teacher of the curriculum is Mrs. Mania Margaritov, with whose work the students learn the sensitive work of preservation and restoration of old images, the maintenance and treatment of time-worn woods and in general the evaluation of old works. art and their restoration in the best possible way.
