Saint Jason and Sosipater

In one of the most beautiful neighbourhoods of Garitsa, near the Windmill and next to the archeological site of Paleopolis, one of the most impressive and ancient churches in the city, the Church of Saints Jason and Sosipater, is tucked away.

The church is dedicated to the two Saints, Jason and Sosipater, students of St. Paul, who were the first to teach Christianity to the inhabitants of the island in the 1st century AD. The church was built in the 11th century by craftsmen of Attica or Boeotia on ruins of an ancient temple. – Copied from MyKerkyra.com
