The original 16<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0century church was expanded in the 18<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0century and renovated in 1994 and 2010. In particular, in 1994 the roof was entirely repaired, while in 2010 both the masonry was maintained and a new floor was placed using old plaster plaques. Unfortunately, the church\u2019s inauguration ceremony remains unknown.<\/p>\n<p>Internally, the church is adorned by a wooden iconostasis dated back to the 18<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0century. However, the person who created it remains unknown. The church\u2019s dimensions are 5 x 15 m.<\/p>\n<p>The church of Timios Stavros was not built on the remains of an older church. According to tradition, its construction in linked to the finding and transfer of the cross to the village of Lampadou, which is located somewhere between the villages of Sina Oros and Galata. In particular, it is mentioned that some residents of the village found a cross in Lampadou and decided to transfer it to the village. During the transfer, the cross became extremely heavy, which forced everybody to stop. The church of Timios Stavros was built at the location where the cross had become extremely heavy.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the fact that the church was not built on the foundations of an older church, there are some icons which are dated back to before the 16<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0century. Some mention that the icons were transferred from the church of Agios Georgios which used to be located in the area of Pera Geitonia before it was demolished.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Source:<br

Temvria.<\/p>\n<p>It is an 1872 building, as this is revealed by the inscription located above the church entrance. The church is a Basilica with a wooden roof and its dimensions are 7 x 8 metres. Its inauguration date remains unknown, while also unknown is the time when the roof was replaced. Additionally, the interior of the church underwent renovation in 1972, while an exterior reconstruction of the masonry took place in 2006.<\/p>\n<p>Internally, the church is adorned by frescos and a wooden iconostasis. What is also worth mentioning is that the biggest part of the church is painted with frescos dated after 1995. As far as the iconostasis is concerned, this was designed in 1924 by craftsmen who had come all the way from Larnaka. In fact, it is mentioned that the latter needed three and a half years to complete it, during which time they had to stay at the village.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sources:<br \/>\n<\/strong>Church Inscriptions<br \/>\nFormer members of the Church Committee<br \/>\nDepartment of Antiquities<\/p>\n<div id=\"69db823d0d9e1\" class=\"gg_gallery_wrap gg_true_gallery gg_standard_gallery gid_4772 gg_hidden_ol gg_ol_bottom_mode gg_main_ol_show_on_h \" data-gg_ol=\"default\"  rel=\"4772\" data-nores-txt=\"No images found\">              <div class=\"gg_loader\">            <div class=\"ggl_1\"><\/div>            <div class=\"ggl_2\"><\/div>            <div class=\"ggl_3\"><\/div>            <div class=\"ggl_4\"><\/div>        <\/div>  <div class=\"gg_container\"><div class=\"gg_img \" data-gg-url=\"https:\/\/temvria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/ekkl_ag_paraskevi3.jpg\" data-gg-title=\"ekkl_ag_paraskevi3\" data-gg-author=\"\" data-gg-descr=\"\" data-gg-tags=\"\" data-img-id=\"0\" rel=\"4772\">  <div class=\"gg_img_inner\"><div class=\"gg_main_img_wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\" data-gg-lazy-src=\"\/\/temvria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/ewpt_cache\/180x150_100_1_c_FFFFFF_3f086501861015396a1843e23a3b8c9d.jpg\" alt=\"ekkl_ag_paraskevi3\" class=\"gg_photo gg_main_thumb\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/temvria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/ekkl_ag_paraskevi3.jpg\" alt=\"ekkl_ag_paraskevi3\" \/><\/noscript><\/div><div class=\"gg_overlays\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"gg_img \" data-gg-url=\"https:\/\/temvria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/ekkl_ag_paraskevi2.jpg\" data-gg-title=\"ekkl_ag_paraskevi2\" data-gg-author=\"\" data-gg-descr=\"\" data-gg-tags=\"\" data-img-id=\"1\" rel=\"4772\">  <div class=\"gg_img_inner\"><div class=\"gg_main_img_wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\" data-gg-lazy-src=\"\/\/temvria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/ewpt_cache\/180x150_100_1_c_FFFFFF_523b6d2ce280e4874d5db31c823b66fd.jpg\" alt=\"ekkl_ag_paraskevi2\" class=\"gg_photo gg_main_thumb\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/temvria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/ekkl_ag_paraskevi2.jpg\" alt=\"ekkl_ag_paraskevi2\" \/><\/noscript><\/div><div class=\"gg_overlays\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"gg_img \" data-gg-url=\"https:\/\/temvria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/ekkl_ag_paraskevi1.jpg\" data-gg-title=\"ekkl_ag_paraskevi1\" data-gg-author=\"\" data-gg-descr=\"\" data-gg-tags=\"\" data-img-id=\"2\" rel=\"4772\">  <div class=\"gg_img_inner\"><div class=\"gg_main_img_wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\" data-gg-lazy-src=\"\/\/temvria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/ewpt_cache\/180x150_100_1_c_FFFFFF_7d4e745d0b56c3541552af78cb5fd45f.jpg\" alt=\"ekkl_ag_paraskevi1\" class=\"gg_photo gg_main_thumb\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/temvria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/ekkl_ag_paraskevi1.jpg\" alt=\"ekkl_ag_paraskevi1\" \/><\/noscript><\/div><div class=\"gg_overlays\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div style=\"clear: both;\"><\/div><\/div><script type=\"text\/javascript\">     (function($) {         \"use strict\";
