Church of Archangel Michael, Pedhoulas, Cyprus. Pedoulas, a small village with about 100 inhabitants, is known for its 12 churches, varying from a 15th-century chapel to a 1930s cathedral. The most important is the Archangelos Michael (Archangel Michael) church, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site along with nine other Painted Churches in the Troödos Region. According to an inscription, the church was painted in 1474 at the expense of the priest Basil Chamados. In the image of the donor above the door, he is kneeling in priestly robes and presenting the archangel with a model of the church. Behind him are his wife and their two richly dressed daughters. To the left there are different saints and scenes of the New Testament and to the right Archangel Michael.
