Description: "Kykkou, Kykkou, Kykkos' hill, a monastery the site shall fill, a golden lady shall enter in, and never shall come out again. Long ago on the island of Cyprus, a cuckoo sang this prophetic song that started a series of mysterious adventures. A hermit had a vision, a proud and selfish governor was stricken with paralysis, and a princess lay dying. All these events, including the miraculous healings of the governor and the princess, were part of a plan, God's plan, to bring the very first icon of the Mother of God, painted by the Evangelist Luke himself, from the Emperor's palace in Constantinople to a new home on the island of Cyprus"--P.
