A visit to the village of Lefkara

There is a quaint little village 45 km from Limassol. In fact our mission president's family is from there. President Charles was born in England but has an older brother and many cousins who live in the village. The name of the village is Lefkara. It is famous for two things. 1- Silver and 2- Lace handmade tablecloths, runners, napkins, shawls, and other beautiful items.

Sylvia and I visited there yesterday on our P-Day. We did not spend a lot of time there, but we did enjoy the drive through the windy narrow streets and a walk around to take pictures. While I was shooting pictures a very nice woman started to talk to Sylvia and invited us to her shop. She showed us some beautiful lace handmade tablecloths, runners and other things. Of course we bought a couple of things.

When you come to Cyprus to visit us we will take you to this little village in the foothills of Cyprus. there are two sections of the village, one is Pano Lefkara and the other is Kato Lefkara. Pano means "upper" and Kato means "lower".
