It is the oldest church in Karditsa. It was built in 1842, shortly after the first Ottoman reforms. It is the first church in Karditsa. It was built in 1842, according to a stone-carved inscription in the SW outer corner, immediately after the Ottoman reforms. The permit for its construction was given by the Gate through the actions of Epirus Konstantinos or Anagnostis Lappas, who had settled with his brothers in the district of Kaminades around 1836. The Kaminades were a separate community in the northeastern part of the city, as at the time The city's Christian district, Varoussi, had not yet been established. It is a three-aisled basilica, built with local limestone by Epirus craftsmen, whose "company" built other temples in the area. Externally it is simple and austere, with few monolithic and two-aisled narrow openings and a few stone crosses and rosettes. The niche of the sanctuary is divided by blind arches, with built-in glazed dishes and stone-carved representations of geometric patterns, birds, plants and stellar symbols. The bell tower was built after 1881, while the vestibule is a modern addition. The temple has a gynaeconite with lattice shields and is inscribed on the inside. The wood-carved iconostasis dates back to 1846, according to an inscription in the Beautiful Gate. It was painted in 1853, "expenses and expenses of the holy bench", under the supervision of the commissioners K. Dimitrakonis and K. Markoutis. Popular murals are the work of Samaritan painters and follow established iconographic standards. Among the portable icons, Christ the Great High Priest (1898), on the Despotic Throne, a work by Emm. Asimakis and Panagia (1911), on the right shrine, a tribute to the brotherhood of Mount Athos stand out. The church was connected in the early 20th century with a very important chapter in modern Thessalian history: the agricultural question. The meetings of the first agricultural association in Thessaly, of the Pedinos Association, were held in its precinct, with D. Bousdras as its leader.
