The tradition reports that the region was part of the Holy Monastery Dohiariou of Holy Mountain, which is dedicated in the Archangels. Ruins in various regions of Holomonta mountain testify that enough settlements existed which were linked together and as a result the current village was created. Our Holy Temple, cruciated with "troulo", is built on older Temple of royal rythm, on which Turkish people put fire and was restored in 1914. Our new Temple began to build in 1970 and was finished in 1977. Not only is remarkable the few time in which the construction lasted but also the voluntarily help, except from the financial help of residents for its construction! The Holy Temple of Archangel Michael, Taxiarchis, Halkidiki - The Miraculous Icon of Archangel Michael The Temple is entirely built with Stone from the Holomonta mountain. The Miraculous Icon of Archangel Michael is situated in the place that local people name "Throne", in the left part in the church. It is a very old Byzantine icon, whose chronology is not known to us. Because of the damages that created the Turks in their failed effort to burn it, and at which the Icon was miraculously saved and found by the residents at their return from the Holy Mountain in which they had resorted in order to be saved by the fury of Turks, the residents placed silver "shirt" in the Archangel, and new face, both of which were made in Russia, (for this reason the face is of Russian way of drawing). In the down part of the "shirt" exists a sign that says: "Miraculous Icon of Archangel Michael", which is dated in 1872.
There still exists an old (restored) Chapel of Saint Theodoros of Tyronos, (pre 1800) as well as modern "Proskynitari" made of bricks from craftsmen of our village. In Taxiarchis seven Chapels still exist, scattered around the village, the four of which were built in the end of 1800 (Saint Christoforos (1873), Saint Nikolaos, Prophet Ilias (1887), Saint Paraskevi, Saint Panteleimonas (built in 1890, repaired in 1916), Saint Paraskevi and Virgin Mary the Gorgoepikoos, which are contemporary. The Holy Temple of Archangel Michael, Taxiarchis, Halkidiki - The Miraculous Icon of Archangel MichaelExcept the big festival of our Holy Temple, it deserves to mention also the other festively celebrated events which are: A)The festival of chapels (in four of them: Saint Panteleimonas, Saint Paraskevi, Saint Nikolaos ("Anakomidi" of Holy Relic, "20 May" and Saint Christoforos where the traditional "Kourmpani" "offer of food" takes place) B) The Feast "The miracle of Archangel Michael'' (6 September) and C) "The Icons". It is the "Perifora" of Holy Icons that takes place the third day of Easter.
In the cultural events of Taxiarchis the Feast of Mushroom is also included because mushrooms are referred as one of the best dishes in our village. The Feast usually takes place in September. It deserves to be mentioned that the unique agriculture on the mountain of Holomonta, which can survive at these winter conditions of low temperature, is the agriculture of Christmas trees, which are planted by seed in our fields, (WE DO NOT CUT THEM FROM THE FOREST) and after almost fifteen years and more, we sell them at Christmas (75% of Greek agriculture of those trees come from Taxiarchis). There is even a modern unit of treatment of herbs and therapeutic plants, such as tea ecc. that are collected, drained and sold.
