monastery mosaic, Cyprus

The village of Mosfiloti existed in the Mediaeval times and was constructed around the monastery of Agia Thekla, established by Saint Helen in 330 AD. Under the monastery ran a spring with holy water used by the faithful to heal skin diseases and cases of eczema. The monastery was recently renovated and re-established by two sisters (biological and religious) from Nicosia and is open to the public. One of the sisters, Mother Superior Constantia, is an accomplished icon painter.
