Agios Anastasios Of Peristerona/Maratha

Since Turkeys invasion of 1974 and its continued occupation of northern Cyprus, it has seen 559 Christian sites of churches, chapels and monasteries either be completely destroyed, in ruin or converted into mosques or barns. With over 25,000 priceless, sacred items and relics from icons to chalices and bibles stolen by the Turks. Many of which have surfaced onto the black market for decades with only a handful of people actually being held accountable and prosecuted in courts of law from efforts by the church of Cyprus and private investigators. Many have spoken out against the purposeful destruction and desecration of Cypriot religious, cultural and historical sites over the years by Turks in northern Cyprus.
