Omodos: Timios Stavros Monastery
Description
Originally built around 210AD this church has been maintained for nearly 2,000 years in the same condition - though with the addition of new icons and screens a mere 400 years ago. The church houses holy relics including the Holy Hemp, a portion of the rope used to bind Jesus' hands after his arrest, as well as two small fragments of the cross. Unlike many Orthodox churches you are permitted to take photos inside.
