Holy Monastery of Zoodohos Pigi (Avel)

The holy abbey of Abel is located near the settlement of Vissanis in a wooded area called "Monasteries". Her name, in the most prevalent view, is due to some landowner Aveli, who financed her renovation shortly before 1770. However, tradition reports that the first foundation of the monastery was made by the monks of the Yurhan monastery, which was nearby , who, after abandoning it because of raids, founded Abel Abbey.
The katholikon belongs to the type of cruciform inscribed temple, of the Athonite type, with trilateral lateral dances on the southern and northern side. The dome is adorned with blind arches and a toothed tape. On the east side there is a five-sided arch and at the southwest corner there is a later bell tower. On the west side there is a splint. Inside the church is decorated with frescoes of 1770, painters Konstantinos and Michael from Chionades Konitsa, who acted in the 18th century. in Epirus, Thessaly and Macedonia. The iconostasis of the church is newer (19th century) wood carved, gilded and has similarities to the iconostasis of St. John the Baptist. Nikolaos Vissanis, so that they are considered works of the same craftsmen.
Nowadays, only the Catholic and modern priesthood survive from the monastery complex. The monastery had a lot of property and preserved, among others, schools in Vissani. For sale on Getty Images
