Cyprus - Machairas Monastery high up in the Troodos mountains
Machairas Monastery, (Greek: Μαχαιράς), one of the principal monasteries of the Church of Cyprus, was founded late in the twelfth century. Machairas Monastery, meaning "Monastery of the Knife", is the home of the icon Panagia of Machairas. Machairas Monastery was founded, in 1148, by two monks, Neophytos and Ignatius, on the eastern foothills of the Troodos Mountains of Cyprus, twenty-five miles south of the city of Nicosia.
