The etymology of the word Panaghia.

In English the word is spelled "Panagia" and derives from the ancient Greek pan- (whole) and ághios (holy). Thus, Panagia means "All-Holy".

Description of the building.

The little church was built in the 11th century; it has got just one nave and an apse with a mullioned window. Inside the church there are two frescoes: one picturing Basil of Caesarea and the latter (XIV century) John Chrysostom.[1]
