Icon Holy
Kykkos Monastery – The Richest Monastery on the MountainThe Holy, Royal and Stavropegic Monastery of Kykkos is said to be the richest and most exuberant of all monasteries in Cyprus. It is based in the region of Marathasa, located on a mountain peak, at an altitude of 1318 metres north west of Troodos.
Founded among the end of the 11th century and the beginning of the 12th century, by Byzantine emperor Alexios I Komnenos (1081 – 1118AD). A Cypriot Hermit Isaiah cured his daughter from an incurable illness, so as an award the emperor sent his cherished treasure the icon of the Theotokos to Cyprus and constructed the Monastery, as a place where the relic would be kept. The hermit also got the emperor to send a representative to get the monastery and three villages endowed. The initial president of Cyprus, Arch bishop Makarios III who served as a novice monk at the monastery, became fond of the place and he returned assorted times after. He loved the place so much that he requested he'd be buried there and he was at the summit of Throni.
The emplacement of the monastery is in Marathasa Valley, which is an area that is located that takes up the northern slopes of the mountain range. It is a very fertile area in which the Marathos plant grows, which is where it got it is name from. Cherries likewise grow in this area as well and are said to be the best in Cyprus and when the cherry blossoms in Spring it is a sight for sore eyes so it boasts some of the most luckiest villas in Cyprus as you would have a outstanding scenery and snack nearby.
The Monastery unluckily doesn't have any remains of the firstborn structure, as years have gone by it has been burnt down various times, so it is a monastery that looks modern. Some persons would feel that the monastery's museum would be similar to progressed museums but they are wrong. As they say themselves it is not a museum that is exclusively distinguished from the functional space of the items it exhibits and neither is it a museum that holds exhibits only on the strength of their artistic value as are the museums of ancient Greek art. It is a museum located inside the monastery itself and like it is treasury it forms an integral share of it. Its exhibits such as icons, holy objects, woodcarvings, vestments, embroideries, manuscripts etc., are exhibited as part of the living adoration and the history of the monastery. Although it still follows all the specifications of a innovative museum, the museum does feature assorted items that have pulled through the a lot of destructions that the monastery has faced.
They ordinarily hold two religious fairs on September 8th which is the Birth of the Virgin and another one at August 15th that is the Dormition of the Virgin. The Monastery formulates Zivania and respective other alcoholic drinks. Zivania is a traditionalisti Cypriot beverage, made from pomace. The grape skins, stems and seeds are press for the duration of a wine making routine then are mixed with high quality arid wines which are devised by the local grape varieties of Cyprus (but in Kykkos case in house) The mixture is then distilled in a special distillation apparatus which develops the Zivania. The drink is a colourless and very alcoholic with an aroma of raisins.
