Agios Panteleimon Church

Kakopetria

It is quite a large church with a capacity of 700 people.

Architecturally it is built according to the Byzantine style and it has a dome. Externally it is plastered and whitened temporarily, but there is provision to coat it with stone from the area.

Hagiographies started to be painted inside the temple. On top of the sanctuary, there is the fresco of Platytera, and above that, there is a fresco depicting the Resurrection, and the Annunciation and there are various other frescoes of representations of saints. The iconostasis which has the three doors, the Beautiful Door in the centre, the other two on the left and right, is wooden and carved, as are the psalters and the throne of the Bishop. On the west side of the temple under the gynaeconite, in the narthex, there is the special shrine, where the dedicated icon of Agios Panteleimon is located. There are two arches in the narthex, one on the right and the other on the left. There, in the future, there is provision for a separate baptistery. Quite important is the presence of the gynaeconite which is of the amphitheatrical type, which allows congregants to attend the various church ceremonies.
