Aegina Church of the Apostles Aquilla and Priscilla

Location: Perdika

Saint Valentine may generally be considered the patron saint of couples and lovers, but, for Orthodox Greeks, his counterparts are the Saints Aquilla and Priscilla. Aquilla was a Jew from the region of Pontos in Asia Minor, while Priscilla was of Roman descent. They met in Rome, where they had to flee because Emperor Claudius persecuted Jews.

This charming tiny chapel is dedicated to them, and it is located in the environs of Agios Sostis Church, in the picturesque Perdika village.
