The chapel of Agia Eirini Chrysovalanto was built 25 years ago and the expenditure was covered by Omiros and his wife Anastasia, residents of Agia Varvara.
The couple had been facing fertility problems for 12 years. Therefore, they decided to travel to Greece and pray to Agia Eirini Chrysovalanto so that they could have a child. Upon returning to Cyprus, they immediately began building the chapel in Mathiatis, whereas Mrs Anastasia became pregnant a few months later. The news of the miracle led many couples from all over Cyprus who were facing fertility issues or pregnancy problems to visit the chapel and pray to Agia Eirini Chrysovalanto so they could also have a child.
The chapel of Agia Eirini Chrysovalanto in Mathiatis is the first church built in Cyprus which is dedicated to Agia Eirini Chrysovalanto.
Agia Eirini Chrysovalanto celebrates on July 28th and several Christians from all over Cyprus visit the chapel and pray on its name day.
