EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of history and spirituality in the heart of Cyprus' Troodos Mountains. The focal point is the Byzantine church of Panayia tis Asinou, a true gem that has earned its place on UNESCO's World Heritage Site list since 1985. Dating back to the 12th century, this magnificent structure holds within it an extraordinary fresco depicting St. Nicholas, bishop of Mira. The fresco itself is a testament to the artistic brilliance prevalent during that era. Painted between 1105-06, it showcases intricate details and vibrant colors that have withstood the test of time. St. Nicholas stands tall with his flowing beard and dignified presence, exuding wisdom and grace. The vertical composition emphasizes the grandeur of both the painting and its subject matter while highlighting the delicate cross held by St. Nicholas as a symbol of faith and devotion. The aureola surrounding him adds an ethereal touch, signifying his saintly status. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to ancient times when these mountains were witness to countless stories unfolding within their walls. This snapshot serves as a reminder not only of Cyprus' rich cultural heritage but also our shared human history. Thanks to DEA / A. DAGLI ORTI UIG from Universal Images Group (UIG), we can now appreciate this remarkable piece without any distractions or interruptions from modern life – allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in its beauty and significance for generations past and present
