Agia Theodora

Highlights

Each year, on 11th September, there is a great fair that takes place in memory of the Saint.

A modern miracle is seen by the visitors of this small church, since not one or two but seventeen large oak trees, which reach a height of 20 metres, emerge from its stone roof. Their roots are lost in the walls, and despite the weight of the huge trees, the chapel continues to stand up without any support or intervention.

According to the Greek religious tradition, this is the place where St. Theodora was killed. In her last words, she said: "My Lord, make my time become trees and my blood water to water them."

The small chapel of Agia Theodora recently entered the Guinness Book as a "miraculous small temple".
