The holy '''Monastery of Kechrovouniou''' is situated on the island of [[w:Tinos|Tinos]], near the village of ''[[w:Steni|Steni]]'', [[w:Greece|Greece]]. It is very close to the remarkable Monastery of St. Anthony and is dedicated to the ''Koimisis tis Theotokos'' (the Assumption).
==History==
According to tradition, three sisters shared the same dream which was to construct this [[monastery]]; so the monastery was founded sometime in the 10th or 11th century. In 1822, St. [[Pelagia of Tinos]] ([[July 23]]) had a dream of a place, where a [[Panagia Evangelistria]] type [[icon]] was found, now known as the [[Panagia of Tinos]].
