During the Turkish occupation, the monastery was destroyed many times, by Turkish and Bulgarian raiders. The visitor-pilgrim, in the first and main part of the monastery, will meet the catholicon, which is its oldest building. Its rhythm is cruciform with a dome and is supported by four marble columns. The iconostasis of the catholicon, is carved in wood and started to be made in 1781, by Chios craftsmen. The duties in the monastery are many and difficult: such as the care of the flock, the cheese factory, and even the marangiki. East of the city of Serres, on Mount Menoikeio, is the Monastery of the Holy Forerunner. Its founding tradition is linked to the ascetic wanderings of prominent figures of Byzantine monasticism.
