Sotira (Greek: Σωτήρα, is a community of the municipality of Edessa in Pella regional unit, Greece.

The wider area where the village is situated is said to have been inhabited since the early Greek history, based on archeological finds (of human remains and items of jewellery) discovered round about, reckoned to originate from both the time of Alexander the Great and the Ottoman rule.

According to the tradition, though, as they often heard peals and loud noises deriving from a nearby spring, that still exists, and indeed people died once they heard those strange noises, they also abandoned that area and settled, about five hundred years ago, at the site where the current village is located and built their settlement on the ruins of an older former village.

In honor of that day, (it was 2 May) they held a local fair every year and celebrate their rescue from the evil.

This church was a marvelous miracle of architecture, but unfortunately it was demolished in the early sixties (1960') as a result of irreparable damages in its structure.
