NEWSMAKERS UNPLUGGED WILL AIR THIS SEGMENT SOMETIME IN SEPTEMBER AND I WILL KEEP YOU GUYS UPDATED ON THE EXACT DATE.
But meanwhile, I took so many photos I am showing them in 2 posts!
Kee Hua Chee taking 300 photos
This is Part 3 with more photos in Part 2.
This small, ordinary, nondescript building houses some of the most precious and glorious, 900-year old Byzantine paintings!

Kee Hua Chee standing next to famous painting of Virgin Mary holding baby Jesus in swaddling clothes which is kissed upon entry by Christians so a protective plastic screen is placed in front to prevent saliva from destroying the oil pigments!

Aphrodite the Goddess of Sex, Love and Passion with demi-god Kee Hua Chee
This small church contains such treasures I could hardly contain myself
Can you believe this single storey building is a UNESCO listed cultural treasure? Believe it!
Small and perfectly formed, this treasury stands in splendid isolation with no skyscraper, souvenir stalls or McDonalds in sight! It can well be the same vista 900 years ago!
Due to the intercession of Mother Mary, no tourists were around which was a miracle as normally it is impossible to take this pristine photo without dozens of visitors!
Exquisitely framed by eucalyptus trees
Kee Hua Chee looking rather kerwei

The back view
So picturesque
Spectacular ceiling paintings
Jesus Christ
The wooden beams were installed centuries later for stability after earthquakes so they were unpainted
The altar
Worshippers kneel before this image of Mother Mary
God
Needs work
I am fascinated by their faces which seem almost cheery
Now more sombre
Sadder like they are in boiling oil
All-seeing Jesus
I love this restaurant and lodging as it blends so well with its environment!
Alexia Paraskeva who was member of Newsmakers Unplugged team can be seen checking out the crosses
Alexia Paraskeva is a famous actress in Cyprus who helped the Newsmakers Unplugged team during our 7 day sojourn
I love the 3-D effect
Adam and Eve
Hell and purgatory
This priest refused to let me take his photos
