Cyprus is considered a Holy island. This is the place where Apostle Paul and Barnabas started their journey to spread the word about the truth, Jesus Christ. Since then, hundred of churches have been built and beside their religious importance, they are part of the island's history and identity.
Lately I visited a church found in a cave at Deftera village in Nicosia which is dedicated to the Mother of God. Visitors arrive from all over to pay respect to the icon that presents the Mother of God and pray for her intervention in their life.
I took several photos but I think these are better to see the Before and After of the cave through the decades.
