Listing Description
Agios Spyridonas is the central church of the village of Triovasalos and is a single building with the smaller church of Agia Marina. The church of Agios Spyridon is an interesting church, as it presents a special architecture with four large arches. In it you will find icons from the ruined churches of the old town of Zefyria, as well as the icon “King of Kings” by the famous Cretan hagiographer Skordilis.
If you visit Agios Spyridon or Agios Georgios on Easter day, you will watch the “burning of Judas”, a custom that dates back to early Christian times and is still alive today. This custom is combined with the custom of “gunpowder”, where the young people of the two villages, Triovasalos and Pera Triovasalos, throw dynamite in a space between the two churches, each claiming the title of winner. The winner is the village that will cause the most noise and pop the most dynamite.
