The Amazing Agios Raphael
Published 10th of October, 2020
The Raising of Lazarus?
I could be wrong, but I don't think these images show St Raphael at work. I think the left hand one is supposed to be the Raising of Lazarus, whereas the right hand one looks like it might be Jesus arriving in Jerusalem on Palm Sunday.
No Healing Here
Some of the murals are actually quite gruesome, and don't depict any healing. This reminds me of the barbaric images were blogged about in the chapel of Agios Georgios Tou Sporou.
More Gore
I assume these depict the trials of various martyrs.
Blessings
Taking a closer look at the upper image. The final man appears to be carrying a bird in a cage. Any ideas?
Nativity Scene
This one mainly appears to be a depiction of the Birth of Christ.

eBookCyprus Road Trip 01: the Kathikas - Panagia Loop
Let me take you on a journey around the region of Paphos, Cyprus. Starting at Paphos itself, we travel to Akoursos, then Kathikas, Kritou Terra and Simou. We continue past Lasa and Kannaviou, before taking in the delights of Panagia. Getting a bit more adventurous, we visit the abandoned villages of Statos and Agios Fotios, before passing through Choulou, Letymbou and Polemi, and rejoining the main Paphos - Polis road.
The route is suitable for all types of vehicle, and requires no off-roading. The guide contains about 130 photographs including shots of all the road signs you need to pay attention to, as well as some of the highlights you may experience along the way.
There are also several maps which will help you keep your bearings.
You can do this journey in a day, or you can break it up into chunks. You can also do it in reverse, to get some completely different views. It is entirely up to you.
