PALEFYTO (Small town) GIANNITSA
When the refugees came to Pαlefito from Thrace in 1924, they built
the church of Timios Prodromos in memory of the church that existed in their country.
The church is built in the Royal style and has many icons that the refugees brought
with them from Thrace.
In 1981 the new church of Timios Prodromos was built in the same yard
with the old church. It is a great construction built in the Byzantine style and
contains a narthex and a place set apart only for women. The church was consecrated
in 1998 and then the operation of the old church stopped.

In the cemetery of the village.
The uprooting of the Greeks from Asia Minor, was violent and they didn’t have
the chance to take with them the holly objects of their church. Its memory always
caused sadness. However, recently they fulfilled their dream for a church in memory
of the one they had in Kydia of Asia Minor, by building the church of Zoodohos
Pigi (The Source of Life).
