Description
Saint Kerykos, is located on the south supporting respond of the western transverse arch of the nave. Joachim across seems to look at him.
Saint Kerykos and his mother, Ioulitta, who is depicted on the northern respond were venerated on Cyprus. The fact that they were included in the iconographic program of the nave, may be assigned to the donor’s desire to include local venerated saints within the sanctoral cycle.
Furthermore, they may also be included, within the theme of fertility, promoted by Elena and her son, and Anna and her daughter and ultimately the extraordinary birth of Christ by the Virgin.
