VILLAGESKastanohori CHURCH OF SAINT SPIRIDON The Church of Saint Spiridon in the lower village of Kastanohori has been rebuilt with some of the stonework being replaced by breeze blocks. Born in Cyprus, Saint Spiridon worked as a shepherd before he became a bishop. He reportedly converted a pagan philosopher to Christianity by using a shard of pottery to illustrate that one entity could be composed of three elements (fire, water and clay); a metaphor for the Christian doctrine of the Trinity. As soon as he finished speaking, the shard is said to have miraculously burst into flames, water dripped on the ground and only dust remained in his hand.
Scrutinize the restored stonework
Lament the rusty ironwork
Mourn for the unplaced stones
Stroll all around the church
