The Lefkara Church is dedicated to the Holy Cross and dates back to the 14th century. The byzantinologist Ath. Papageorgiou confirmed that the eastern part of the Church dates back to the 14th century, namely after considering rescued frescoes behind the church’s iconostasis. The style of the eastern part of the church is cruciform with a cupola, while the style of its more recent part is Cypriot dating back to the 19th century. The iconostasis has an invisible cavity. It is the crypt where the big wooden Cross is kept, which the church is dedicated to. A piece of the Cross of the Lord is contained in the centre of this cross.
