Panagia Theoskepasti is a church dedicated to the Holy Mother of God. The word Panagia itself denotes the Virgin Mary. And here, the compound word “Theoskepasti” comes from the Greek word “Teos” and “skepazo”, which means “God” and “curtain”. This name is connected with the tradition, according to which, in 649, when Arabs were raided by Paphos, only the Temple of the Most Holy Mother of God standing on a hill, which “curtained” the enemy's gaze from a dense cloud, survived. Since that time, the church has been given the nickname God-hooded Teoskepasti. Translated with Google Translate
A spontaneous walk through the city told the legends of ancient churches and the history of the Jewish mother, who became the patron saint of the ancient Roman catacombs. Also, the city’s biggest mole was beautifully decorated for Christmas, there was a very beautiful ceramic workshop and the revelation that the most delicious meat dish on the island is connected with theft. It was wonderful adventure! Translated with Google Translate
