MONASTERY TODAY
Sourp Magar Monastery, located in the Pentadaktylos mountain range, is now a popular site for hikers and tourists from all over the world. Evidence of this are many posts in Google Maps, Armenian Community social media, Gibrahayer e-Magazine and Turkish Cypriot travel guides
In this section, we have a selection of photographs shared by Nikolas Christou who visited the site in the summer of 2025. As one can see, the site is now in ruins and in need of urgent stabilization works before there is irreversible destruction.

Angel of God Night Prayer by St.Macarius of Egypt
'Holy angel, to whose care this poor soul and wretched body of mine have been given, do not cast me off because I am a sinner, do not hold aloof from me because I am not clean. Guide me by your influence on my mortal body. Take my limp hand and bring me to the path that leads to salvation. Forgive every deed of mine that has offended you. Protect me during the coming night and keep me safe from the Evil Enemy. Intercede for me with the Lord and ask him to make me fear him and enable me to give him the service his goodness deserves.
Amen.'
