Saint Nektarios, the protector saint of Aegina, helped built this monastery 1904 – 1910 on the ruins of a previous Byzantine monastery. It was at that time dedicated to Agia Triada
Saint Nektarios lived here for 13yrs and after his death at 9 November 1920 he was buried at the precinct of the church.
The monastery that is dedicated in him and his holy relic are looked after in the monastery.
This Orthodox cathedral, still under construction, is one of the largest in Greece
