Embracing religious celebrations at the monastery

Minthis Golf Club

Cyprus

Written by: Margarete Dunst

The resort is continuously striving to conserve the church, the adjacent monastery quarters and its beautiful gardens, which have been planted with carefully selected local herbs and plants. The church and grounds are regularly used to host weddings and christenings organized by the team at Minthis. Wedding couples even commemorate their special day forever by planting an olive tree with a personalised plaque in our specially designated orchard.

Once a month, Russian Orthodox mass is held at the church. We also celebrate the Greek Orthodox ‘Holy Cross’ festivities on the 14th September every year. All citizens from the surrounding villages are invited to come to Minthis for the ‘elevation of the holy cross’ with the resort offering traditional ‘Loukoumades’ (Greek pastries) to the community. Stavros Tis Minthis, the historic monastery of the ‘Cross of Minthis’, is a true spiritual place amidst the golf course whose doors are open to locals and visitors alike.
