This time I thought I would just publish some pictures that seem interesting. One of them is of the place where we get our drinking water in the Troodos Mountains. It is a beautiful drive into the mountains north of Limassol about 35 kms. The water comes out of the side of the mountain. A couple of pictures are of a Greek Orthodox church in Larnaca. It is called Lazarus's Church. It is the same Lazarus that Christ raised from the dead. He, as legend says, came to Cyprus and was the bishop for 30 years. The Greek Orthodox built a church in the ninth century over the tomb where he is buried. We went into the basement of the church and saw two concrete vaults where he was supposed to have been. The Greek Orthodox church built buildings and monasteries in the ninth to the 14th centuries wherever there was history of the the early Christians throughout Cyprus, Greece, and much of Asia Minor. A couple more pictures are of a new site being built near the Rocks of Aphrodite. It is being advertised as the temple of Aphrodite. It is not quite finished. It has a great view of the sea.
