The Holy baptistery and the Wizard Kinopas

 In year 95 a.C, Jesus Christ's favourite student, John, was sent to Patmos in exile by emperor Domitianus. At the time, the wizard Kinopas or Kenepsis as we know him today (meaning someone with the face of a dog), lived on the mountain Genoupa of the island. 

 When Kinopas was informed that John was on the island, talking the words of a new god and that with his speech he managed to baptise more and more of the inhabitants of Patmos, he was infuriated and went to meet John himself to see what was going on! He found John in the town of Fora (today called Pernera) the capital of Patmos at the time, by the sea, in the area of Votris, where his baptistery was! Kenepsis challenged John in front of his believers, to prove the existence of God, bringing the father of a present Patmian back to life! John refused to do it! Then, Kinopas jumped into the sea showing off the power of his magic, and brought back a man with the same face as the one of the Patmian's father ! 

 The crowd began to hurray for Kinopas and turned against John! At that time, John calling the name of Christ and making the sign of a Cross with his hand, turned Kinopas into a stone, living him at the bottom of the sea.
