Panagia Panaxiotissa Church

Nafpaktia Municipality, Greece

The Panagia Panaxiotissa Church is located approximately 2 kilometers outside the village of Aetolia-Acarnania Trikorfo and is one of the most important attractions of the area. It is the catholicon of a Byzantine monastery. The origin of the nickname "Panaxiotissa", which is probably unique in the Orthodox area, is not clear. It is interpreted by many as "She who deserved everything", while others believe that it is due to a paraphrase of the toponym of the location of the church (Panaktzi - Panaktziotissa - Panaxiotissa). The cultural association of the village "Progressive Landscape Association of Gavrolimni Panagia Panaxiotissa" takes its name from the church.
