Location information

St George & Hypapanti of the Lord church

  As it turns up by the historical facts, during the Turkish occupation, the few residents of Trifili perfomed their relegious sacrements in the church of the neighbouring village Agios Georgios. After the freedom of Macedonia in 1913, the residents of the village formed an abandoned Turkish building into a church, dedicated to Saint George. In 1960 a new church was built in the town square, from where the village's main road passes.
  This church is built in the Byzantine style, the rarest style nowadays, and it's dedicated to Saint George and to the "Ypapanti of the Lord" ; i.e. the day priest Simon welcomed and met Christ 40 days after His birth. Its imposing appearance is owed to its construction completely by stone, porous stone, thanks to which it remained unchanged through the years passing. Inside it is surrounded by a lot of wall paintings, which were painted after the residents' donations. In a place set apart for women, some small and old icons are maintained. Its celebration day is the 2nd of February, 40 days after Christmas.
