L’histoire de Larnaca District

In Larnaca, the stone church of Saint Lazarus stands over the tomb of the man raised from the dead, who is said to have become the town's first bishop. On the salt lake, flamingos spend the winter, and on its shore stands the Hala Sultan Tekke mosque. Inland, Choirokoitia shows a village of round stone houses from 7000 BC, with rebuilt homes you can walk into. In the hills, Lefkara is the village of lace and silver. At Pentecost, Larnaca's seafront celebrates Kataklysmos, the Festival of the Flood.

Lire l’histoireFermer

According to Orthodox tradition, after Jesus raised him from the dead, Lazarus fled to Cyprus, became bishop of Kition, today's Larnaca, and lived here for thirty more years. In 890 a tomb inscribed 'Lazarus, friend of Christ' was found, and a church was built over it. You can still go down to the tomb under the altar.
