Ayia Eleni Church (Ruins)

Few Words About the Church
On the outskirts of the community of Prastio Avdimou are the ruins of additional ecclesiastical structures that were destroyed not only by the pandemic but also by other factors. The sanctuary of Agia Eleni is situated southwest of the community of Prastio Avdimou, between the neighbourhoods of ”Alupochara, Kokkinomantra, and Agia Eleni”. Here, remnants of the ancient sanctuary of Agia Eleni are preserved. Agia has been venerated in Cyprus since the fourth century, when she visited the island and left behind a portion of the holy relics she brought to Constantinople after the discovery of the Holy and Living Cross of our Lord in Jerusalem.
The modest chapel of Agia Eleni preserves portions of the north and south masonry as well as the Holy Step’s arch. To the west of the temple is the large rectangular stone with a central opening. This stone presumably originated from an old oil mill.
