Other tradition says that the holy man is live in the monastery and his name is Katsikas, and then he died and is buried in the church garden. Residents in the Katsikas are called Katskiots if a man, or Katskiotsa if a woman, and Katskoplu if a child. After the war of the 1940 the village was occupied day and the night by the Italians (9 April 1941) in the beginning but later (1 November 1944) the Germans and then the Communists. These people they put in prison and killed not only criminals and animal thieves, but also good people and family men. But then, after nine years of oppression, the Katiskas became a free village.

When he finished his studies, he returned to live in Serres, where he worked in the ''Didaskaleio'' of the Serres (a big school). He never returned to Katsikas because of an incident with local priest who called him ''satan'' because he wrote that there is no God, it is only a belief. Today his statue is in the main town square (plateia). He is sitting at a big desk, and is holding a book, and next to him is the goat, a symbol of the city where he was born. He wrote many scientific papers and one of them was 'On the bringing up of Greek teachers on pot' printed in Athens in 1888.
