Agios Ioannis o Rosos (St John the Russian) was a
slave to the Ottomans but was respected for his good deeds. His body has
remained incorrupt and was transferred from Turkey to a church in Northern Evia
in 1924.
The church in
Santorini is situated in Kontochori, Fira, between the two streets connecting
Fira with Firostefani, over the Folk Museum. You will locate it by its
colourful flags!
