==History==
In this Holy cave, a little church was also built to honour the [[Translation (relics)|translation ]] (metastasis) of the Evangelist, St. [[John the Theologian|John]] (honoured every year [[September 26]]). Later, in the time of St. Christodoulos (1088), another little church was added to honour St. Anna, the mother of the [[Theotokos|Virgin Mary]].
With the passing of time, the chain of hermits at the Cave, have contributed to the addition of cells and little churches around the Cave forming the current building structure in the region today.
