The holy Monastery
of Saints Kirikos and Iouliti is built up on a hill, to the northeast
of Sidirokastro. It was founded in 1968 by
the most venerable Bishop of Sidirokastro, Ioannis, when he first arrived
from Samos to the Holy Metropolis of Sidirokastro.
It is a cenobitic Monastery that today houses 40 Nuns occupied with knitted goods, gold embroidered pieces and hagiography while at the same time they are exclusively responsible for the care of the Orphanage for girls of Sidirokastro and the Nursing Home of the Holy Metropolis of Sidirokastro. The feast day of Monastery is on 15 July to commemorate the Saints Kirikos and Iouliti. |
