Serviam Tinos: A Taste of Memory, A Scent of History
In the stone gardens of Tinos, where time flows slowly and reverently, the Ursulines left their mark. It was July 15th , 1704 when they arrived on the island—and from that moment, their Monastery, first in Exomvourgo and later in Loutra, became a beacon of education, faith, and culture.
Within its walls, an entire world was born — self-sufficient and noble. Gardens filled with lemon and pomegranate trees, chapels on every hillside, wine presses, weaving rooms, music and art studios, language classes — all interwoven in an invisible harmony that still whispers stories to this day.
At the heart of it all stood Saint Maria Ignatia Leeves — a woman of vision. Scholar, artist, polyglot, shedevoted herlifeto bringing girls from everycorneroftheworld to be educated — not just in mind, but in soul.
