Monastery of the Holy Cross


The tradition says that in the area of today’s Monastery of the Holy Cross at Omodos, a temple stood since early 3rd century AD. When St. Helen visited the area, she left as a gift a part of the rope with which Jesus was tied before crucifixion. The Monastery celebrates on the day of the Holy Cross, 14 September, where a lot of pilgrims pay their respects and a fair with local produce runs for 2-3 days.
