Stavros tou Agiasmati The church of Timios Stavros tou Agiasmati is situated in the eastern part of the Troodos mountain range, in the area of Pitsilia, about five kilometers northeast of the villa The frescoes of the church were painted by a Syrian artist in the 15nth century. Need to contact father Georgios for the key. We have visited most f the painted Unesco churches in Cyprus, but this one is different ! The fresco of St. Michael is superb. There is a fresco of dead Jesus pained in a small dome in the holy Altar and is so real, like in 3D The site were it is built is so sirene. Can have a small picknic outsite enjoying the view.

This church is at the southern end of the village of Pelendri and was built in the 12th century, originally with a single aisle. It is Unesco-listed now among the 10 painted Byzantine churches in the Troodos. In the 13th and 14th centuries, it was added to and now has three aisles, but only the frescoed apse is original. The frescoes (1178) include Jesus depicted in prayer from the waist upwards, with the Virgin Mary and John the Baptist, painted as miniatures, on each side of him. Other depictions include the altar and grail near the small window in the apse and St Stephen on the north side. These frescoes have simple straight lines and shiny earth colours. The rest of the images date from the 14th century when the church was completely repainted. The church should be open from 12 noon until 5pm, but if closed, you can ask at the village coffee shop for the priest or call 357-25552-369.
