While the building crews working feverishly in the area where the new church of Agios Megalomartyros Ephraim Nea Makris is erected and on a daily basis the progress of the work is now evident, the place has already been transformed into a place of worship and pilgrimage by dozens of citizens every day.
More and more believers who make their way to the Monastery of Agios Neophytos stop at the site of the construction of the church of Agios Ephraim, a few meters earlier, in order to pray, to leave flowers or pictures of the saint and to light a candle in the small makeshift worship space created by the faithful at the site of the construction of the normal church.
Regarding the work, the Archimandrite of the Holy Monastery of Agios Neophytos, Alexios Enklinriotis, pointed out to "F" that in the first stage work was done on the two walls of support on the main road Agios Neophytos-Tremithousas, which will support part of the skate of the church.
"The second phase involves the sandal of the central temple," he stressed. "I believe that the Temple will end within the time frames set by our Saint in his chosen spiritual child, Raphael. This effort has been blessed by Saint Ephraim himself, through his miracles that give the faithful strength."
The church of Agios Ephraim is erected on a piece of land given by the Monastery of Agios Neophytos and which is located a short distance from the monastery, on the main road from Tremithousa and Tala to the Monastery of Agios Neophytos.
