\nA legend says that in that area one priest had his own vineyards. In one dream, Saint Marina appeared to him and showed him the tree in which her icon was. She ordered him to build a church dedicated to her and put the icon in it. The tree was cut, and there was the icon inside of it indeed, and so began the construction of this stone church.
\nThe icon depicts Saint Marina, and is believed to be miraculous and that many have cured their illness before it. The icon is believed to be miraculous and that many have cured their illnesses in front of icon. Every year, on July 17, there is a celebration dedicated to St. Marina.
\nThe little church was built in the magnificent, green Rentina gorge in the archeological area of the Ancient Arethus, on the ruins of the temple in honor of Artemis. The whole area consists of a large number of gorges, hills and rivers, and it covers the whole range from lake Volvi to Strimonikos bay, between the mountains of Holomon and Kerdilia.
\nAs this natural paradise is located not far from Thessaloniki, it is very popular as a place for rest and picnic in untouched natural surroundings.
