AGHIOS
IOANNIS - KASTRI
: Off the way to
Glossa, with an interesting monastery perched high on
the rock surrounded by sea. |
|
The chapel of Aghios Ioannis is on
the top of a sea rock at a height of 100 m. There is no
record of when it was actually built. Local history says
that a resident saw a glow on the top of the rock one
evening, at first he did not give particular
significance to this, but it was repeated many times and
then in a dream he saw a woman who told him to go to the
top of the rock with the other residents and search for
an icon there, and so there was. The next day the whole
community of the island there and he related what had
happened. Then they all began to carve steps into the
rock to the top. Once there they found the Aghios
Ioannis icon, which was transported to a nearby chapel.
The next day they discovered that the icon was not in
the church, but back where it had originally been found.
They decided to build a chapel on the site to house the
icon because they believed that the saint wished to be
there. There are 105 steps carved into the rock leading
to the chapel. |
