Agios Panteleimonas Chapel, Paralimni
The Agios Panteleimonas Chapel is situated in the Paralimni area in the Ammochostos district. The chapel was built in the ruins of two older churches which were also dedicated to the same saint.
The interior of the church has been decorated with various murals, with the help of the charities collected by the villagers. Amongst the murals is the “Rodon to Amaranto” where the Virgin Mary is surrounded by various Saints.
The chapel today is stone built, insulated with wood and has a tiled roof. It also has a bellower and accessibility for people with wheelchair disabilities. There is a nice courtyard around the church and it is surrounded by trees. The chapel is also a popular choice for weddings and christenings due to its size as well as its location.
The chapel celebrates on the 27th of July which is when the saint is honoured.
