The Church of St. Andrija on Vrgada

The church dates back to the 9th century and is located in the local cemetery in Pocrikva bay. Legend says that the sea at that place gave the wooden statue of St. Andrew, who was a Byzantine saint, so the people of Vrgada made a church in honor of the Vrgada saint, and placed the statue on the altar. Stl Andrija today is a patron of fishermen in Vrgada.
