Located and hidden in an unbelievable beautiful pine forest. Trooditissa Monastery is subordinate to Greek Orthodox Church. It is a male monastery. Built at an altitude 4566 ft asl. The originally Monastery in this place was founded in 13th century C.E. Next, rebuild in 1731 C.E.

There is clear information on the maine gate ‘’entry is not allowed to tourist’’. However, nobody makes a problem for visitors to enter and see Monastery from the inside if dignity and respect for this place would be well maintained.

Inside Monastery, there is a very important for Orthodox community icon of the Virgin Mary from the Troodos Mountains. Religious brothers run a small store for visitors with their own food products and small gifts. There is a large car park available on the street. WC as well.

Donate your spare money for Trooditissa Monastery when you will visit, please.

Located on the southern slopes of the Troodos Mountains, the Trooditissa Monastery is one of the very few monasteries in Cyprus where the date of formation is unknown. It is believed though based on local tradition that it was founded just after the iconoclastic era (8th-9th century A.D.). The monasteries in general in Cyprus were built after a hermit or hermits had been there originally, often in caves, living a life of spiritual struggle . The monasteries were then subsequently built around these holy men. The same applies in the instance of Troditissa Monastery. The oldest reference we have of the monastery is of a 14th century deed. There are no remnants of the Middle Byzantine period or of the period of...

Как рассказал наш гид, этот монастырь открыли для посещения туристами всего несколько лет назад. В монастыре хранятся две великие святыни. Первая - икона Пресвятой Богородицы "Троодитисса" (название - видимо от названия горного массива Троодос), это одна из икон, написанных святым апостолом и евангелистом Лукой. Перед этой иконой особенно молятся бездетные родители и пары. Вторая святыня - "пояс Богородицы", завещанный несколько столетий назад состоятельной женщиной, которая усиленно молилась здесь о рождении сына и по молитвам Богородицы забеременела и родила долгожданного ребеночка. Хранитель пояса отец Григорий (если не ошибаюсь) надевает его только состоящим в браке и почти обязательно венчанным парам, читает молитвы и записывает имена супругов в блокнот. Если батюшка соглашается надеть пояс на невенчанных супругов (что бывает далеко не всегда), то берет с них обязательство обязательно повенчаться при первой возможности, но до этого воздерживаться от исполнения супружеского долга. Беременность, как правило, наступает спустя несколько месяцев после посещения монастыря. Обрадованные родители нередко присылают в монастырь фотографии своих чад.

Кстати, о венчании: повенчаться на Кипре непросто, нужно подготовить много бумаг (свидетельства о рождении, крещении, браке, паспорта с нотариально заверенными переводами на английский), отправить их в местную епархию на утверждение и пр. Проще повенчаться дома и затем отправиться в...

This is a beautiful, peaceful, worshipful monastery. The atmosphere is quiet. The location is a little remote, so it's not a place with heavy traffic. The bookstore is wonderful (although few to no English language offerings). The Church is absolutely stunning inside. If you're looking for a quiet place to reflect and pray, this is a good choice. I only saw one monk - the one tending the bookstore, who was very hospitable and friendly with the members of our small group.

What can you expect in a monestary? Its a church and a store here. And you can get a tour around the premises. Thats what we did, but its probably more to do here😃 The church is small but very richly decorated. The rest of the monastery is in a typical 1960-es look, which may be bevause the buildings are from 1960-1970. Nice gardens and a nice view and a tranquil vibe. The entrance is free.
