The “Koumniou” church of the Holy Mother of God (earthen cask). This little Chapel is located south of the settlement on the road leading to Ora. It was constructed in 1979 to replace an earlier Chapel that had been demolished. Unfortunately, it is in desperate need of repair, and the church committee hopes to gather funds to construct a new one based on the original’s design. Villagers who were cultivating the land discovered a little symbol concealed behind an earthen cask (‘Koumni’) and gave it its current name. The locals attempted to bring the emblem to their community. During the day, they would transport it to the settlement, but by night it would return to its original location. Thus, they decided to construct a modest chapel at the exact location where it was discovered. The icon dates back to the seventeenth century and is celebrated on the Tuesday after Easter with a church service and a feast.

“This is the village’s principal church, dedicated to Saint George the Great. Michalis Tsolakides, who had fled to Egypt but never forgot his hometown of Vavatsinia, constructed the structure in 1912 and paid for it in full. The basilica-style church is open on the 23rd of April and the 3rd of November. The church was constructed on the site of a big “Trimithia” bush where residents lit candles in honour of Saint George.
