English

The church of Panagia Eleftherotria (Virgin Mary) is located on the hill "Patrice". The church was a solemn promise of the island's people for their liberation from the Germans.  At the hill many were killed because the hill was a minefield.

In the ruins of German redoubts was built the temple in 1998 in commemoration of the liberation of the island from the Germans on October 12, 1944. For this reason the church was named Eleftherotria (the woman who liberates) and it is celebrated on October 12.

Ελληνικά

Ο ναός της Παναγίας Ελευθερώτριας βρίσκεται στο λόφο « Πατρίς ». Ο ναός ήταν τάμα του νησιού για την απελευθέρωσή του από τους Γερμανούς καθώς στο λόφο αυτό είχαν σκοτωθεί λόγω ναρκοθετήσεων πολλοί Σαλαμίνιοι.

Στα ερείπια των γερμανικών πυροβολείων χτίστηκε ο ναός το 1998 εις ανάμνηση της απελευθέρωσης του νησιού απ’ τους Γερμανούς στις 12 Οκτωβρίου 1944. Για αυτό το λόγο ονομάστηκε και Ελευθερώτρια και πανηγυρίζει τη 12η Οκτωβρίου.
