Church of Saint Lazarus

The 800-year-old Byzantine-style church went to St. Lazarus Church in Larnaca with his wife this fall and passed the world of two people. This is a church built before it was looted during the Fourth Crusade. The resurrected Lazarus was also the first bishop of the ancient Kition, a town built on the basis of modern Larnaca. The church has a beautiful interior and is a model of the Byzantine church of the time, originally built by Emperor Leo in the 9th century and subsequently renovated many times. The decoration is impressive and the purpose is more religious than the excessive luxury of other Cypriot churches and monasteries, which incorporate many elements of Cypriot history. Cyprus is dominated by the Franks and Venetians, so you will find Venetian architecture. Additional elements such as Frank Gothic gables and lovely Italian interiors are added. The wood carvings of the magnificent baroque sanctuary were actually made by Cypriots during Venice's reign. Below the church is the site of the tomb, and during the Crusades, most of the saints' relics were looted and transferred to Marseille, but a small number were also discovered in 1972 and are today considered to belong to the saints. In the past, the cemetery behind the church was made up of French, Italian and Greek elites. It would be interesting to check the inscription on the tombstone and find various symbolic sculptures and different languages. Tips: 1. Open hours: 8:00-12:30 in the morning, 15:30-18:30 in the afternoon. 2. There are also a large number of ancient paintings in the church, which are worth seeing.

The church of calmness - a completely different holy place [the church of the niche] In fact, in the Western world, the number of churches is really as large as bull hair, and it is completely impossible to count.

[Come to the church] The appearance of the church is really very old. I estimate that the original color of the church should be white, but under the destruction of years and time, the exterior wall of the church has gradually yellowed, and there are even embroidered marks left by the window. The overall look is even more mottled, but looking around and around the town, this church should be the tallest building around, and the architectural style of the church looks very old, especially old, it is estimated that there are no Gothic and Baroque when the church is built. Style. [Inside] The interior of the church is really antique level, there is no stained glass, no tall lobby, no elegant piano and organ, here I can feel only the purest religion and belief, here walls are carved with some simple murals, But these ancient murals are particularly charming, as if they were coming through time and space, and some of the churches are particularly grounded and particularly charming, and they are isolated from the noise outside, which is very magical. The church is open all day, and there is no need for tickets. It is recommended to play for 1 hour.
