This is witnessed by the fact that a large, age-long laurel tree stands next to the country church. Its circumference is 8 meters and its height is 17 meters. Its age is approximately estimated to be a few centuries.<\/p>\n<p class=\"maintext\">There are three old icons in the country church, one of Christ, one of Apostle Philip, and one of the Virgin Mary the \u201cZalithariotissas\u201d, which today are in the Museum of Byzantine icons of the Holy Cross Monastery.<\/p>\n<p class=\"maintext\">The country church was renovated in 1773 by the Metropolitan Bishop of Pafos, Panaretos, and it was also repaired in 1851.<\/p>\n<p class=\"maintext\">New maintenance operations took place recently with the expenses paid by the Antiquities Department, now permanently having the church under its protection.<\/p>\n<p class=\"maintext\">On the Saint\u2019s day, which is on the 14 th of November, a liturgy takes place and hundreds of faithful attend it so as to honour the Apostle.<\/p>\n<div id=\"69e82601d564e\" class=\"gg_gallery_wrap gg_true_gallery gg_standard_gallery gid_3649 gg_hidden_ol gg_ol_bottom_mode gg_main_ol_show_on_h \"
