Agios Theodoros Tamaseon Commemorated on the 4th of October
If we take for granted that St Theodore lived around 60 AD, since he was a contemporary of St. Eracleidios, then we can say that the first church was constructed around the beginning of the 2nd century. In 1777 it was radically renovated and as a result it became more spacious and with a wooden roof. In 1888 the church was renovated again. The masterly wooden icon screen was made in 1906. "Panagia I Odegrtria" (the guiding Virgin Mary) -which along with the icons of Saint Theodore, of Archangel Michael, of the Saviour Christ (1825), and the Saint's wooden icon are the village's pride and joy -is the church's oldest icon (1573). In 2001, after being renovated again, it took the shape it has today. The tomb of St. Theodore is in the west side of the church. The skull of St. Theodore stands upon a gold-plated, prelatic mitre inside the church.
Agios Eracleidios, bishop of Tamasos
Commemorated on the 17th of September A mausoleum was built in the 4th century over a roman tomb that is considered to be the Saint's grave, its floor decorated by geometric motifs and Christ's monogram. A basilica with three aisles was built in the 5th century, including a narthex and an atrium. After the abbey's destruction it was rebuilt in the 7th or 8th century. Today's domed mausoleum was constructed in the 14th century. The south aisle of the main church was built in the 15th century, in the place of the basilica's middle aisle. The north aisle, which is dedicated to the Holy Trinity, is a 17th century addition. Sarcophaguses of the roman period are found inside the mausoleum.
In the beginnings of the 13th century, the bishop of Tamasos, Neilos, established a convent under the name "Panagia ton Vlachernon". In 1222 the convent fell into decline as a result of the Latin's attitude toward the Orthodox Church.
The convent was reconditioned for the last time in 1771, during the reign of archbishop Chrysanthos, now having male monks. Around 1859 the order is dissolved and the monk Cyrillos assumed the care of the monastery. The monastery started operating in the way it is today on the 23rd of July 1962, with a prominent figure in the country's religious affairs as matron, the subsequently Prioress Charithea. The monastery today is a point of attraction for many pilgrims. During the days that the ever-blessed Charithea was Prioress, the chapel of "Timios Prodromos" also had started being built. Today Prodrome Monachi is the Prioress. Fifty nuns live in the convent today, occupied -apart from their spiritual and operational task -with various charities. The almond sweet made in the convent is renowned.
Agios Mnason, bishop of Tamasos Commemorated on the 19th of October
The monastery of St. Mnason -today in ruins -is located in the community's west end. We do not know when exactly it was constructed, however it is a fact that the Russsian monk & traveller Barky mentions that a monastery with 6 monks operated during his 1753 tour of Cyprus. Unfortunately, today only the small temple and the monastery's ruins are extant.
Agia Marina Commemorated on the 17th of July
The country church of St Marina is located upon a hill planted with pines, next to the village Filani that today is abandoned. An embossed stone over the temple's main entrance reports 1819 as the day of erection. It is a small church -of the basilica type with three aisles and no cupola -made of local stone and tile rubbles.
