The patron saint of Athienou
Agios Fokas is the patron saint of the village. The church is of the same era as the church of St. Georgios. It is reported that two parts of the village (those above and those below) motivated by polite rivalry built a church for Agios Georgios and another one for Agios Fokas. It seems that there was another smaller church in the current position of the church, according to oral testimony. The existence of an older church of Agios Fokas is also evidenced by the existence of an icon of Agios Fokas of the 18th century. The icons of the iconostasis date a little later than the building of the church.
