Simou Church
Wow
I was expecting to see some murals. Lots of churches have murals in Cyprus. But this place is covered in them! It's beautiful!
The Ceiling
And remember: this is a village church in the middle of the island. This isn't a big cathedral, or a tourist venue. So where do we start, when everywhere looks so nice? That's easy, we looked up.
Votive Candle Holder
This is a very elegant candle holder. Votive candles are lit to accompany prayers. You will find them in all Cypriot churches and a lot of the roadside shrines.
To The Walls
There won't be much commentary for the rest of the blog. I'm afraid I don't know what all the pictures depict. I will do my best to interpret them, but really, just enjoy them for what they are. We will start by looking at the left hand side of the church.
Lazarus?
In this mural, Jesus appear to be raising the dead.
