Ayii Vavatsinias or Agioi Vavatsinias , (Saints of Vavatsina , Greek : Αγίοι Βαβατσινιάς ) is a community of the District of Larnacna located 3 km north of Ora.

Agioi Vavatsinias is the ancestral village of Manos Loïzos (Μάνος Λοΐζος, also transliterated as Loizos and Loisos) who was considered to be one of the most important Greek music composers of the 20th century.


According to various sources, the Saints of Vavatsina have existed at least since the 16th century, while it is uncertain whether they existed earlier. The name of the village (Agioi) comes from Agioi Anargyros, to whom the village church is also dedicated (Agioi Kosmas and Damianos). The second compound (Vavatsinias) was added because of the neighboring village of Vavatsinia, to distinguish the village from others whose first compound was Agioi. According to another version, the second compound comes from the vavatsinia (mulberry) tree, which was cultivated in earlier times in the village, because there was a large area of silkworm breeding and silk production.
