Церковь Панагии
Church of the Panagia
- история:
- In Agiassos the Virgin Mary is venerated and everything revolves around the miracle working icon of the Blessed Virgin Vrefokratousa and the Church of the Panagia.
During a two week period leading up to the 15th of August, which is the Holy Day of the Virgin Mary, pilgrims begin flocking to the town not only from Lesvos but all over Greece, slowly building up to a carnival-like atmosphere, peaking on the eve of the feast day.
There is another festival on September 14th commemorating the day when the Holy cross which Mytilinians brought back from Jerusalem after it was consecrated on Golgotha.
Agathon's Cross was made with wood from the True Cross and is kept in the museum of the church.
- The church is surrounded by shops selling icons and religious items as well as some of the best cafeneons on the island.
