30 Greek Orthodox Shrines Dedicated to Saint Irene Chrysovalantou (1 of 3)


1. Church of Saint Irene Chrysovalantou in the village of Dafni in Sitia of Crete




2. Monastery of Saint Irene Chrysovalantou in Heraklion of Crete (2002)





3. Chapel of Saint Irene Chrysovalantou in the village of Potamida of Kissamos in Crete (1997)

Built by Michael Pneumatikakis in 1997. Ten years earlier he was in a car accident, and was in a critical situation when one night his uncle saw St. Irene Chrysovalantou in his sleep, saying: "Go get oil from my oil lamp in Lykovrisi, and when you bless Michael he will become well." He informed Michael's mother and immediately the command was carried out. After he was blessed with the oil, the next day he recovered. The chapel was built in thanksgiving for this miracle, through the financial contributions of the villagers and other believers. Though the chapel was built ten years after the accident, immediately after his healing he bought an icon of St. Irene and dedicated it to the neighboring Church of Saint George. He also had a baby girl that he named Chrysovalantou at baptism.

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.
