拉撒路 Lazarus ‐‐ 約翰福音12:9‐11
有許多猶太人知道耶穌在那裡,就來了,不但是為耶穌的緣故,也是要看他從死裡所復活的拉撒路。
但祭司長商議連拉撒路也要殺了;
因有好些猶太人為拉撒路的緣故,回去信了耶穌。

根據東正教的傳統,在基督復活後的某個時候,拉撒路被迫逃離猶大(約翰福音12:9‐11),而來到塞浦路斯。
在塞浦路斯,拉撒路被保羅和巴拿巴任命為第一任的基提主教(現今的拉納卡 Larnaca)。
據說他再活了三十多年,在他第二次也是最後一次的死亡後,葬於拉納卡。

Mosaic of the Virgin Mary and Child between the two archangels Michael and Gabriel
6th century AD


It is one of the finest pieces of Byzantine art in Cyprus, which rivals the mosaics of Ravenna, Italy. Such mosaics from this period have only been discovered in Cyprus and Mount Sinai of Egypt.

它是塞浦路斯最精美的拜占庭藝術品之一,可與意大利拉文納的馬賽克相媲美。這一時期的馬賽克只在塞浦路斯和埃及的西奈山被發現。
