Panagia tou Charou

The original building was even older, of the 11th or the 12th century. The church got this peculiar name after a rare icon that depicts Panagia holding the Crucified Jesus in her arms. This icon is considered to be miraculous and is currently kept in the church of Agios Ioannis Theologos.
