THE OLD KATHOLIKON
HAS TODAY A NEW ICON SCREEN WHICH IS A COPY OF THE OLD & GOLD PLATED

the monastery keeps relics of the old icon screen which can be dated back to the middle of the 17th century and includes a part of the row of the 'Great Deesis', (apostle readings), with eight figures under alcoves and also a part from the row of the Twelve Great Feasts with 10 scenes where the Annunciation, the Nativity, the Presentation and the Baptism are evident. There are also arched parts which were part of the icon screen's clad or possibly parts of the choir (candle chandelier). They have an interesting perforated decoration with birds picking fruit.
