Why Religious Holidays in Paphos are Worth Experiencing

Cyprus is indeed one of the best places to get in touch with Mother Nature, but this isn’t the only reason why booking a stay in Constantinou Bros Hotels is a must. As a matter of fact, booking a trip to Cyprus is also a great way to explore and experience monasteries and temples that are linked to early Christianity in the country.

History shows that Cyprus was actually the first country that was under a Christian administration because of the Apostles Barnabas and Paul’s desire to spread word about their religion. To walk in the footsteps of these religious icons can help you relieve history as you trace the paths that the Apostles Paul and Barnabas took in order to spread the word of God in Paphos. Head to the Panagia Chrysopolitissa church which was constructed back in the 13th century over the remnants of the Early Byzantine basilica which was the largest on the island and see the stone column where it has been said that the Apostle Paul received a flogging. Later on he was able to convert the Roman governor thus making Cyprus to be the first to be ruled by a Christian.

Make your way to the Roman villas near the harbour where beautifully done mosaics of Greek mythology can still be seen. It is believed that these villas were once home to Sergius Palaus, the Roman proconsul, assigned to Cyprus where he was later converted to Christianity after hearing the apostles preach.

Other monasteries that you should include in your religious holidays in Paphos are Agios Neophytos which was built by the saint himself carving the structure on the side of the mountain, Panagia Chrysorroyiatissa monastery which housed the icon of the Blessed Virgin Mary. The monastery was constantly burned down. The remaining structures in the area date back to the 18th century.
