There
were made some additions to the initial temple, the latest being the
four-sided bell tower. The church was built to honor the memory of
Panagia. Paramythia took its name from the temple (in ancient Greek
means comforter).
The
church represents a symbol to all over the world Paramythians. The
church had mosaics which were covered, for protection, during Turkish
domination and the 2nd world war. In front of the yard gate
are 2 springs and cells with private entrances. A lot of suffering

comforter). Till 1960 was
