The church is located in the middle of the Germasoyia historical centre and it is the most ancient church of the Municipality.

It was built in the 12th century AD and contains wall paintings dated in the 15th century AD.

The church is included in the ancient monuments. In 1996, in collaboration with the Cyprus Department of Archaeology, the church was preserved and restored in order to revert it, as much as possible, back to its original state.

The church is dedicated to Agia Christina whose memory is celebrated on July 23.
