An older structure used to exist in the cleared area directly in front of the structure, but it was destroyed in 1907 by a landslide. A small icon stands in that location today; the icons inside the church itself are dated 1889-1900

A monk by the name of Daniel Dimitrios Thanasoulis constructed the new church a few feet away from the old one, on the same slope where Demos Hatzinikoloaou owned property.
Daniel himself recorded the date and events surrounding the church opening/inauguration in a church log book:
It was Wednesday, July 8, 1915; the bishop of Nafpaktos Ambrosios and Archdeacon Arsenios were also present. He wrote that the church houses bones and artifacts from holy martyrs in its inner sanctuary, particulary those of St. George, St. Tryfon, and St. Pandeleimon. Church lecturers/hymn singers were appointed; these were N. Papgeorgiou, I. Kotsarellis, and I. Exarchos.

Daniel had constructed a tiny one-room cell above the church to function as living quarters for himself, but it collapsed shortly after his deathMore recently, land surrounding the church was dug up by treasure hunters, because rumors were circulating that someone had buried gold there during the Civil War years.
The church festival is held on July 20, and is one of the most popular festivals of the year in Perista.
