Church of Agia Marina

The small village of Agia Marinouda belongs to the district of Pafos. On the north side of the community you will meet a church, which is dedicated to Saint Marina (Agia Marina).

The church was built in 1985 with the contribution of the habitants and with the support of donations. It is said that on the same location there was an older chapel, which was built in 1920. Unfortunately it has collapsed because it was not sturdy enough.

The church has a rectangular form with an arched roof, and on the outside it is covered with stones. The dome stands on the east side of the ecclesiastic building and it is very tall, with small archs and two electronic bells. The church’s yard is very big and paved with slabs.

On the inside of the church there are no wall paintings or gallery. Its capacity is about 150 people. The iconostasis is wooden; graven and the holy icons are relatively new. You will also find wooden psalters and a despotic throne. The community of Agia Marinouda has done its best to create a beautiful church.

The feast of Agia Marina is on 17 July and many faithful visit the church every year to honor the Saint.

Chapel (remnants) of Agios Constantinos and Agia Eleni

The exact date of the chapel’s construction is still unknown. It is situated on the east side of the village, among the houses of the community. The only two things left to remember us its existence are the ruins of the chapel and the iconostasis (case) where the icon of the Saints is kept. Many faithful visit the chapel to pray and light the vigil candle of Agios Constantinos and Agia Eleni. It seems that the chapel collapsed after a big earthquake, which took place in the area and it remains derelict until now.
