Fascinated by the view of the imposing temple of Evangelistria, Ypsipyli decides to make a stop and reflect on the adventures that brought her here.
The construction of the church was completed in 1903 with a donation from the Moudros-based Learned Society of America and money raised by residents, as well as personal labor. The official dedication of the church took place on May 12, 1919. It is a three-aisled basilica, with two bell towers on the front, which is also adorned with a large rosette window. The interior of the church is also imposing. The epitaph was donated by Admiral Kountouriotis, who liberated Lemnos, and often took courage and strength from his visits to the church while on the island. The bell tower of the church is associated with the withdrawal of the Germans from Lemnos and the fatal wounding of Lieutenant Demoulas, a member of the Sacred Band from Elassona, Larissa, who, according to unconfirmed information, was fired upon by a German warship when he climbed the bell tower for observation. In the area where the church is built there was formerly the Monastery of Agia Marina of the Koutloumousiou Monastery on Mount Athos. It is even said that the discovery of the bodies of Ottoman officers in the well of the Monastery caused the wrath of the Ottomans who then burned down the temple and the monks with it. The two monks who managed to escape and fled to Mount Athos spoke of an act of provocation by the local residents who wanted to appropriate the land of the Monastery. As punishment, a fine was imposed on the residents of Moudros by the Abbot of the Koutloumousiou Monastery, which was abolished with an official ceremony only in 2001.
