The church is dedicated to Saint Mary, the Mother of God, and is also referred to as a church of Saint George. Two dedications for one village church are not rare in these parts: a name could change during rebuilding or take hold through local usage.
Avranlo stands on the Tsalka upland and has no equal here for the number of shrines: a dozen and a half churches and small prayer places in a single village. The nearest neighbours of this church are very close: the prayer place of Saint Sophia at a hundred and forty metres, the church of Thomas at two hundred and seventy.
Avranlo is walked on foot: from one shrine to the next is usually no more than a couple of hundred metres. The rules are the same everywhere: covered shoulders and knees, quiet, and a headscarf for women.
