The Presentation of the Virgin Mary in Sklaverochori
This single – aisled arched church, dedicated to the Virgin Mary’s Admission, is located in the cemetery at the entrance of the village Sklaverochori. The church bears paintings of exceptional quality, as far as the degree of their maintenance is concerned, as well as the level of their artistic performance.
It is worth noticing in the Zone of the Saints, which is developed on the north wall of the church, a rare depiction of the Catholic St. Francis of Assisi, who appears only for three times in the churches of Crete.
