In Lycovrissi, a Greek village in
Late in the afternoon, refugees persecuted by
the Turks arrive from another village. They seek assistance, but Pope Grigoris
turns them away, claiming that they bring a cholera epidemic with them. Led by
Pope Fotis, the refugees find shelter on Sarakina, an inhospitable mountain.
The only people to assist them are Manolios, Michelis, Katerina, Yiannakos and
Konstandis (the last two were to play Peter and James).
Once he has been chosen to play Christ,
Manolios changes day by day. He separates from his fiancée and decides to
strive for the highest possible level of mental, spiritual and bodily purity,
with Pope Fotis as his guide. At the feast of St. Elijah he defends the
refugees and talks of the value of love and mercy, provoking reactions among
his fellow villagers and incurring the wrath of Pope Grigoris.
In the meantime, Patriarcheas dies and Michelis
decides to share out his property among the refugees. When the refugees come to
Lycovrissi to take over the land, Pope Grigoris stirs up the locals and
pronounces Michelis insane. Following his brother's violent death in the clash
that ensues, Pope Grigoris tells the aga (local Turkish overlord) that Manolios
is to blame for all their ills. He succeeds in getting Manolios condemned and
delivered to the irate villagers. The frenzied mob gathers at the church, where
Pope Grigoris excommunicates Manolios and signals to the faithful to execute
him within the sacred building.
