Title
Baby Jesus, Christmas Issue Murals, Republic of Cyprus
Description
The Church of the Holy Cross of Agiasmati, a single-aisle church with a steep pitched wooden roof, is situated north-west of the village of Platanistasa,in the Pitsilia area. It has preserved the most complete set of paintings in Cyprus by the 15th century artist Philip Goul.Inscriptions above the south and north entrances record that the church was built and its walls painted in 1494. All the secondary scenes have been skilfully arranged around the main theme of the Nativity, and have been enchanced with new details. The magi appear twice: once as they ascend the craggy rocks and once as they offer their gifts to the infant Christ.
