	There are various views stated concerning the name of the church. The correct one claims that the name "Drossiani" comes from the location called "Drossia", where the church was built. According to local traditions, it was named "Drossiani" because "the icon perspired, and still does", every time the village has been in danger; or because "it cooled the inhabitants, and still does, with its miracles". People so relate the name "Drossiani" to the verbs /idrono/, which means perspire and /drossizo/, which means cool, fresh up.
