The Amazing Agios Raphael
To The Altar
Lets start at the front, and work round in a clockwise direction. Over the next few pages you will see pictures of a number of murals. I don't know what most of them represent, but if you do, please let me know via a comment. If you do that I can edit this blog, and give a better description of the artwork on display. Even if you only know what one picture represents, it will all help.
Chandelier
I would love to see what this looks like during a night-time service. It must be deeply spiritual.
Look Up
If you look to the ceiling, you can see a large picture of Jesus Christ himself.
Down The Aisle
I made a point of arriving fairly early to take these pictures. This was a case of third time lucky. The first time I was here, I only had my regular camera, and it was midday. The second time, there was a festival on, and we didn't even get to the car park.
John The Baptist?
I am guessing the lower picture is John The Baptist. I have no idea about the upper image though.

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.
