The finding of the
holy icon
 At
night, close to the Resalto location, something like a shimmering light
was visible. The people of Koroni believed that this was the holy Light
because the heroes of Resalto had purified the place.
Maria Stathaki for fifteen years was dreaming the Holy Virgin
admonishing her to tell her fellow-villagers that its icon, was buried
for years into the castle's rocks. The people of Koroni as soon as they
knew it grubbed the place with zest but found nothing.

 In
1896, Magdalini Mourgou, a twelve-year old girl, saw a silhouette
talking to her. "Come, I will show you where the icons are
buried", she said to her.
The little girl followed as if with her eyes closed. Then she saw the
Holy Virgin with her palms spread pointing the specific place. The rock
after it was dynamited, revealed three statuettes, the Christ
Crucified, the Virgin Mary holding the Holy Infant and another one that
it is attributed to the Luke, the Evangelist (21/1/1897).
