Fluttering in the wind outside one of the world’s largest churches – which attracts up to five million pilgrims a year – are exquisite angels created by Maria Loizidou. The Cypriot artist was chosen from hundreds of others to design artwork for the new church built to honour the miracle of Fatima in Portugal in 1917 (pages 8-13).

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
