Located in the rural village of Tochni, the ecclesiastical museum is part of the historic Church of The Saints Constantine and Helen.

The museum room – which adjoins the church – features a range of precious religious relics, including Gospels, icons (dating as far back as the 16th century), and silver and bronze sacred vessels. Also featured is a grand cross, which is displayed in the centre of the museum room.

Most importantly, the museum contains a small piece of the Holy Cross, and a small piece of the relic of Saint Helen, which are of insurmountable religious value.

The church itself is uniquely located on a bridge in the village, and a historically significant structure. Both the bridge and the church are said to have been built by Saint Helen.

As part of the Larnaka Virtual Museums project, you can tour the museum virtually here, with enriched and bonus material from home, or whilst at the museum for a hybrid experience. 
 

The exhibition consists of the majority of stone and wood sculptures by Costas Argyrou, as well as mosaics and his paintings. Argyrou is the first Cypriot recognized naive sculptor. His artistic career lasted until his death in 2001. He held solo exhibitions and took part in various group shows in Cyprus and abroad.

On the eastern side of the museum’s main building is the Gallery, with its mosaic religious images and the cenotaphs of Argyrou and his wife. On the outside,the Gallery resembles a church, since initially it was intended for this purpose. For further information please visit: https://costasargyroumuseum.org/
