One day someone found this icon down by the beach and in the small island. They took it back to the church. After few days the icon again disappear and again someone found in the same place in the island and they took it back again in the small church .After a week AGAIN the icon of Panagia disappear and again has been found in that small island down by the see. Then they started to talk and thought that was a sign from the God (THAT THEY HAVE TO MOVE DOWN TO THE SEE ),Thing they have done and they built the church in the small island, called Panagia Island. It was a decision of old Pragian’s and Parga after many-many years became what is now…… Who knows how could Parga be staying up to the mountains.
