From all the Holy relics, the most distinguished is the fragment from the cranium of St. Haralambos.

It was looked after in the temple of St. George in old Iraklitsa. Then in 1922, together with the refugees, it came into New Iraklitsa. A bigger fragment of his cranium is preserved in the Abby of St. Stefanos in Meteora. Inside the sheath of the cranium there was also discovered to be the 17^th century cross, which we have already mentioned. 

On 10 February our Church honours the memory of St. Haralambos. All over the world and particularly in Orthodox Greece, there are Churches and Monasteries dedicated in his memory. Furthermore in the Cities of Pyrgos and Kyparissias Saint Haralambos is honoured as their protector. We must also add that he was the priest of Magnisia in the difficult years of Christian persecution, when the empire was under the control of Septimos Seviros. It was in 198 AD that Seviros begun his persecution against Christians, and it was then that the sub-prefect of Magnisia called Saint Haralambos asking him to turn his back on Christ. Not only did Saint Haralambos refuse to accept the command of the sub-prefect but confirmed his faith in Jesus Christ, his crucifixion and his resurrection. This led to the torture of St. Haralambos, who was subjected to being skinned with iron nails. Despite this barbaric treatment he refused to turn his back on his religion. When the sub-prefect realised that St. Haralambos could not be persuaded to abandon his beliefs, he was beheaded. He suffered this torturous death at the age of 113, finding his strength through this ordeal in his love of Christ.
