The village of Agios Andronikos was until 1964 a mixed village and thus the Turkish Cypriot residents also participated and celebrated at the festival together with the Greek Cypriots.

What is known September 23 about her is based on tradition and the historian Leontios Machairas. Conception of St. John the Baptist Tradition says also that Saint Fotou performed miracles even when she was alive. When she died, she was buried by faithful and devout Christians. In her tomb which was discovered by divine revelation, the following words were September 26 written: "Photini, Virgin Bride of Christ. Falling Asleep of This divine revelation took place during the 15th century as the historian St. John the Theologin Leontios Macheras states. He writes in his "Chronikon" the following: “By the Karpas peninsula at the village of Agios Andronikos, there was found a little while ago by God's revelation, the tomb of Saint Photini, and her cave is below the earth.

  • History and Hybridity in the Trapeza Church Near Famagusta, Cyprus1
    ALLAN LANGDALE Historian of Art and Architecture University of California at Santa Cruz History and Hybridity in the Trapeza Church near Famagusta, Cyprus1 I—Introduction The church at Trapeza has been largely neglected in the art historical literature on medieval and early modern Cyprus, garnering only occasional attention from scholars in the field.2 This is surprising because it is one of Cyprus's most intrigu- ing and challenging structures. Moreover, it contains a significant example of me- dieval Cypriot mural art that has gone largely unstudied: a fragmentary Pantocrator in the earlier of the two domes of the church, possibly dating from the fourteenth century. This extraordinary fresco, even if partially ruined, deserves to take its place among the masterworks of medieval Cypriot art. Perhaps one reason that the church's architectural features have been overlooked is that there has typically been greater consideration accorded those Cypriot churches that contain notewor- thy mural art, either in fresco or mosaic.3 If such pictorial remnants have justified ancillary discussions of architecture in earlier scholarship, then the revelation of the Trapeza Pantocrator supplies ample validation for a more comprehensive study of the church's architectural style and history. The Trapeza church is a fascinating conundrum and its somewhat ungainly hybridity may have dampened the enthusiasm of researchers of previous eras. Camille Enlart was so underwhelmed that he wrote only a cursory description of it.4 However, the syncretism that once affronted the aesthetic refinement of earlier 1. I would like to thank Benjamin Arbel and Annemarie Weyl Carr for their generosity and advice on this article.

  • Photographic Exhibition Organized by the Cyprus Municipalities Under Turkish Military Occupation
    PHOTOGRAPHIC EXHIBITION ORGANIZED BY THE CYPRUS MUNICIPALITIES UNDER TURKISH MILITARY OCCUPATION THE DESTRUCTION OF THE EUROPEAN CIVILIZATION OF CYPRUS BY TURKEY THE TRAGEDY GOES ON… “If we should hold our peace, the stones will cry out” (Luke 19: 40) THE DESTRUCTION OF THE EUROPEAN CIVILIZATION OF CYPRUS BY TURKEY THE TRAGEDY GOES ON… “If we should hold our peace, the stones will cry out” (Luke 19: 40) The photographic exhibition is organized by the nine occupied municipalities of Cyprus: Ammochostos, Kyrenia, Morphou, Lysi, Lapithos, Kythrea, Karavas, Lefkoniko, and Akanthou. The exhibition aims at sensitizing the broader public to the tragic consequences of the Turkish invasion of Cyprus in 1974. An effort is made to trace, as much as possible, the pain caused by the war and the uprooting of tenths of thousands of people from their homes. At the core of the presentation lies the systematic destruction of cultural heritage in the island’s occupied areas, which persists to this day as a result of ethnic cleansing and religious fanaticism. As proof of the above, damages to archaeological sites, ecclesiastical monuments and all non-Muslim cemeteries, as well as thefts intended to offer antiquities for sale at a profit, are showcased here. In some cases, photographic evidence which has been brought to light for the first time is put forth. This exhibition is divided into thematic units which are separated from one another by their different colours. Each panel includes a title and a brief text, whilst being supplemented by pertinent ‘before and after 1974’ visual material. The first unit introduces the nine occupied municipalities, with a historical outline, their most significant monuments and their present state.

  • Frankish-Venetian Cyprus: JSACE 3/16
    97 Journal of Sustainable Architecture and Civil Engineering 2016/3/16 Frankish-Venetian Cyprus: JSACE 3/16 Effects of the Renaissance Frankish-Venetian Cyprus: Effects of the Renaissance on on the Ecclesiastical the Ecclesiastical Architecture of the Architecture of the Island Island Received 2016/09/22 Nasso Chrysochou Accepted after Assistant professor, Department of Architecture, Frederick University revision Demetriou Hamatsou 13, 1040 Nicosia 2016/10/24 Corresponding author: [email protected] http://dx.doi.org/10.5755/j01.sace.16.3.16278 The paper deals with the effects of the Renaissance on the Orthodox ecclesiastical architecture of the island. Even though the Latin monuments of the island have been thoroughly researched, there are only sporadic works that deal with the Orthodox ecclesiastical architecture of the period. The doctoral thesis of the author in waiting to be published is the only complete work on the subject. The methodology used, involved bibliographic research and to a large degree field research to establish the measurements of all the monuments. Cyprus during the late 15th to late 16th century was under Venetian rule but the government was more interested in establishing a defensive strategy against the threat of the Ottoman Empire rather than building the fine renaissance architecture that was realized in Italy. However, small morphological details and typologies managed to infiltrate the local architecture. This was done through the import of ideas and designs by Venetian architects and engineers who travelled around the colonies or through the use of easily transferable drawings and manuals of architects such as Serlio and Palladio.

  • Dear Ms Romey
    DOCUMENT WITH THE COMMENTS OF THE ASSOCIATION OF CYPRIOT ARCHAEOLOGISTS CONCERNING TURKEY’S REPORT ON THE ‘IMPLEMENTATION OF THE ‘INTERNATIONAL COVENANT ON ECONOMIC, SOCIAL AND CULTURAL RIGHTS’ In 1974 the Turkish armed forces invaded Cyprus in violation of international law, including the UN Charter. Turkey still occupies over 36% of the territory of the Republic with 43,000 troops, and is therefore responsible for the actions of its army and the subordinate local administration. It is also pertinent to recall that in 1983 the then Turkish Cypriot leader Mr. Denktaş, declared the establishment of the so-called “TRNC” in the occupied part of Cyprus. This action was condemned by the UN Security Council in Resolutions 541(1983) and 550 (1984) which calls upon the international community neither to recognize such an entity nor to assist or in any way cooperate with it. As far as cultural heritage is concerned Turkey is a Party to the following Conventions: UN Conventions: 1. Convention for the Protection of Cultural Property in the Event of Armed Conflict with Regulations for the Execution of the Convention, The Hague, 14 May 1954 2. First Protocol to the Hague Convention of 1954 for the Protection of Cultural Property in the Event of Armed Conflict, The Hague, 14 May 1954 1 3.

F. Beckingham tarafından, ihtida eden Kıbrıslıların ahfadı olarak nitelendirilmiştir. Ancak, köyün Müslüman mezarlığında bulunan mezar taşları tam ters yöne işaret etmektedir. Bilhassa Avrasya coğrafyasındaki balbalları andıran büst benzeri mezar taşları oldukça ilgi çekicidir. Benzer mezar taşları Balalan köyünde ve Poli kasabasının Hristiyan mezarlığında da bulunmaktadır. Yeşilköy mezarlığındaki mezar taşları ile Türkiye’nin çeşitli bölgelerindeki mezarlıklarda bulunan mezar taşları karşılaştırıldığı zaman ortaya ilginç sonuçlar çıkmaktadır. Yeşilköy mezarlığındaki mezar taşları, Türkiye’deki mezarlıklarda bulunan mezar taşları ile çarpıcı benzerlikler göstermektedir. Bu geleneğin köye Osmanlı hâkimiyeti döneminde adaya yerleşen göçmenler tarafından getirildiği gayet açıktır. Dolayısıyla köydeki tarihî dil durumu, din değiştirme sonucunda değil, dil kaybı neticesinde ortaya çıkmıştır.

  • Crossroads of Civilizations
    CROSSROADS OF CIVILIZATIONS TRAVEL PLANNER REPUBLIC OF CYPRUS – 50 YEARS 1960-2010 Welcome to Cyprus KOPIASTE!Dear Traveler: There are myriad islands in the Mediterranean, but only one does Aphrodite, the ancient Greek goddess of love, call home, and that’s Cyprus. In 2010, Cyprus celebrates its 50th anniversary as an independent Republic, and there’s never been a better time to plan your visit. Whatever your pace or special interest, Cyprus is uniquely poised to welcome you. Our beaches are not only beautiful, they are certified as among the cleanest in Europe. And, just a short drive from the crystal clear waters of our coast are the pine-clad Troodos Mountains, where wild moufflons roam and cedars grow, and gem-like churches and monasteries are replete with unmatched Byzantine frescoes and icons. Cyprus is a haven for archaeology lovers. From Neolithic settlements more than 10,000 years old, to spectacular Greco-Roman ruins, such as the ancient seaside amphitheater of Kourion, to Crusader fortresses such as Kolossi, the list of treasures is boundless. By no means will you want to miss Pafos, a wellspring of antiquities in the west, including the mysterious Tombs of the Kings…and Roman mosaics that are so colorful, extensive and well-preserved, they are recognized by UNESCO. Although Cyprus is the third largest island in the Mediterranean, it is surprisingly compact and easy to explore. In between rugged mountain peaks and the shimmering coast you’ll traverse untrammeled landscapes and rolling hills with vineyards that still produce the world’s oldest named dessert wine, sweet Commandaria.
