    Have you ever made a wish on a shooting star? Well, while I hope your wish came true, I’m afraid I have bad news- that wasn’t really a star (shocker huh), although it was falling. What you saw was a Meteor (meet - ee - or)

    I've wished upon many in my life. Thanks, @ROMOS.... See here:  Meteora

    The Katholikon of Holy Trinity Monastery, Meteora.


    The Metéora (Greek: Μετ?ωρα, "suspended rocks", "suspended in the air" or "in the heavens above" - etymologically similar to "Meteorite") is one of the largest and most important complexes of Eastern Orthodox monasteries in Greece, second only to Mount Athos.[1] The six monasteries are built on natural sandstone rock pillars, at the northwestern edge of the Plain of Thessaly near the Pineios river and Pindus Mountains, in central Greece. The nearest town is Kalambaka. The Metéora is included on the UNESCO World Heritage List under criteria[2] I, II, IV, V and VII.[3]
