The Skull of Saint Tryphon in Kastania of Agrafa


A portion of the skull of Saint Tryphon is kept in the village of Kastania in Agrafa of Northern Greece. According to written records and oral tradition, pious Orthodox residents purchased the holy relic from robbers during the Turkish occupation, and they placed it in the now ruined Monastery of Saint Tryphon in the village of Moucha. Today it is kept in the Church of the Nativity of the Theotokos in Kastania. There he is annually celebrated on his feast day, February 1, works miracles such as the driving away of pests from the fields, and is regarded as their patron saint.

Support the Mystagogy Resource Center

For more than fifteen years, the Mystagogy Resource Center has been a labor of love dedicated to making the riches of the Orthodox Christian tradition freely available to people throughout the world.

Thousands of articles, translations, lives of saints, theological reflections, historical resources, and daily materials have been published across this ministry’s websites, all offered free of charge for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the Orthodox faith.

This is a one-man ministry that requires countless hours of research, translation, writing, editing, and maintenance each day.

If this work has spiritually benefited, educated, encouraged, or inspired you in any way, I humbly ask you to consider supporting this ministry financially.

Generous annual and monthly benefactors make possible the continuation and expansion of this work for the future, for without such support this ministry cannot exist.

Every contribution, whether large or small, truly makes a difference and is deeply appreciated. May God bless you abundantly for your generosity and prayers.
