Chapel of saint Georgios (in Drapia)

Feast day: November 3 and April 23.

The stone-built chapel is located in the abandoned and ruined settlement of Drapia, which administratively belongs to the village of Ora. It is a small, single-aisled chapel with a gabled roof with tiles and a semi-circular apse, also covered with tiles. The two entrances are on the west and south sides. Above the west door is a shallow niche, where a cross carved on a stone slab has been placed. The entrance is protected by a single-pitched canopy. The oldest reference to the abandoned village of Drapia dates back to the Venetian period. However, we do not know when the chapel was built. The church of saint Georgios and its property are also mentioned in the 18th century codes of the Bishopric of Kition, from which it is inferred that the village was already abandoned around the end of the 18th or the beginning of the 19th century. However, the censuses of 1881 and 1891 mention 21 inhabitants, most probably using the chapel for their religious needs. The chapel has a built iconostasis with wood-carved royal doors and an architrave (epistylion in Greek) with icons of saints and of the Twelve Great Feasts (Dodekaorton in Greek). The feast day of the chapel is on the 3rd of November and on the 23rd of April.
