A very interesting place. Went there for a wedding ceremony. At this time, the temple was not closed. In addition, those who wish can go to a kind of "grotto", where the spring beats. You can drink water and wash. In general, the temple resembles a Catholic one by the presence of benches inside. Although he seems to be Orthodox. Inside, everything is modest. Not because we have a lot of murals on the walls. Here everything is more restrained. Cypriots, by the way, are very devout people. Their church is equated with government agencies.

If you happen to visit Larnaca, I advise you to definitely visit this temple, which is certainly interesting both in historical, religious and architectural terms. The temple is one of the main shrines of Orthodox Cyprus. In the underground crypt, a tomb was found with the relics of the righteous Lazarus, Bishop of Kita. (Kition or Kitia is the ancient name of Larnaca). And above it at the end of the 9th century a temple was built, with three naves (central and lateral) and three domes (now they are gone).
