Agia (Αγιά) is a village and a municipality in the Larissa regional unit of Thessaly, Greece. Agia is located east of Larissa and south of Melivoia. The Mavrovouni mountains dominate the south and the Aegean Sea lies to the east. Agia, both by its name and etymology, refers to a region (where there flourished the monastic state of Kellion Mountain or Mountain of Cells [Όρος των Κελλίων]) where holy people live, because there were many monasteries and many monks who lived there. Indeed, the number of monasteries, churches, chapels and ecclesiastical treasures in Agia are very many. This place has some of its own particular cultural and ecclesiastical characteristics. It was also made worthy to pull out its bowels Saint Symeon the Barefooted and One-robed, to accept within it Saint Damianos, to accept as a visitor the sacred preacher and hieromartyr Saint Kosmas Aitolos, and to honor for centuries in a unique way both Saint Anthony's, the Great and the ascetic of Beroia. The biggest local celebration is that of Saint Anthony on September 1st. The establishment of a local celebration of all the Saints of Agia is to completely honor these great Saints, and it helps in the spiritual cultivation of the residents.
The Saints to be honored on this day are:
• SYMEON the Barefooted and One-robed, who built the Sacred Monastery of Flamourion and died in 1594. His precious Skull is preserved in his Monastery // APR 19 //
• DAMIANOS of Kissavos, whose hermitage is preserved on the mountain of the same name near the village Anatoli // FEB 14 //

Saint Conrad is sometimes represented as a bishop holding a chalice with a spider in it or over it. How religiously exact the holy bishop was in whatever belonged to his sacred functions, particularly to the adorable sacrifice of the Sermon, appears from the following instance: It happened that a great spider dropped into the chalice whilst Conrad was saying Liturgy on Easter-day; the insect might have been taken out, and then decently burnt, some spiders being poisonous and dangerous; but out of devotion and respect for the holy mysteries, the bishop swallowed the spider; which he vomited up some hours after without receiving any harm.
