I remember asking everyone I knew about this church and nobody knew anything about it. Finally, I determined to ride my bike to it early in the spring of 2006. I had to leave my bike at the roadside and walk into the huge fields of new wheat, which was gently swaying in the breeze. From the road the Trapeza church looked as if it floated on a green sea, far away on the horizon. As I waded through the grass, the closer I got the more beautiful it became, and I think it was then that I decided I had to work on this amazing structure (see Academic Articles page). Surprisingly, nobody had ever written on it before; one of Cyprus’s many neglected marvels. Exploring the Trapeza church was one of my many wonderful days on Cyprus, and I’d return many times to survey the building and do the photographic documentation for it.
