In a dream that same night, he was visited by a woman in black who instructed him to return the icon to its original location. To honor this miraculous event, a small church was erected at the site. Annually, on September 8th, the Miraculous Icon of the Virgin is celebrated. Visit Panagia Kavouradena Church and witness the sacred beauty of this cherished location in Leros, Greece.
