Printing Holy Water

The holy water of the Saints is another form of proof that the Saints had visited the village. The exact location of the holy water spring is thought to be, according to tradition, where the Saints took their horses to quench their thirst. Believers consider the holy water to be thaumaturgic because of its therapeutic properties.

“Sxinia ton Agion”

The community honours the two Saints by preserving the tree known as “sxinia ton Agion” where the Saints used to tie their horses. Moreover, plans include the construction of an ecclesiastical monument where the tree is located.
