In the Hellenic
space they exist three big Holy [Kabeiron]. Ancientest is that of our island,
Limnos. The other two Holily are found in Samothrace and in Imbros
respectively. The precise chronology of Holy is not possible to be realised.
The Italian Archaeological Faculty places her long period of life from the 8th
century b.C. According to the mythology, [Kabeiroi] were the three sons and
girls of god [Ifaistos] and his wife [Kabeiroys]. They were very ancient
deities and were worshipped in Limnos via Mysteries[=celebrations].
That had
relation with the rebirth of nature and the fertility. The more important feast
that was taken place in Holy [Kabeiron] was the feast of [Porfyrias]. Through
this feast lived up the discovery of fire in order that reports the Delivery
the birth of fire it began from Limnos and from the God [Ifaistos].
The
metallurgists of island went up in term (volcano) [Mosychlo] and keeping a
cupreous mirror opposite from the sun, lived up the Holy Flame of that season.
The ceremonies of Adoration and [Myisis] lasted nine days.
The most important
and holier space of Temple was the “Sanctuary”. In t o the Sanctuary entered
only the Priest of Temple. It constitutes perhaps ancienter ''telestirio''
[=place where mysteries taken place] in Greek [choro].
More anacient than
''Soloneio Telestirio'' of Eleusis. Holy [Kabeiron] of Limnos it has suffered a
lot of destructions per the centuries.
The final destruction of Holy, very
probably it became from the fury of first Christians, round the dues 3rd with
4th century a.C..
