St. OSIO'S ORTHODOX CHURCH

Osios means 'Holy', 'Pious' or 'Venerable' person in Greek language and the probable root word of the name 'Essenes' which is an ancient Jewish monastic sect.

This church was named (1915) St. Osios by the Bishop Great Vattasseril Mar Geevarghese Dionysius, to whom the location reminded some Greek Monastery, most likely the monastery of Osios Lukas near Delphi, Greece.

A google search will show a lot of Greek monasteries with the name Osios.
