Byzantine and Baroque style wood carving
- • Iconostasis and ecclesiastical furniture that last
- • Their projects found in churches in Cyprus, Greece, UK
- • Well-made woodcrafts are durable in centuries
Christodoulos Agridiotis learned wood carving from his father Kyriakos, who established his workshop in 1970 in north Nicosia. After the Turkish invasion in 1974, the family moved the workshop to Latsia, where Christodoulos works with his brother. They design and make iconostasis and other woodcraft from scratch, until the last touch during installation. The wood-carved, gold-leaf highchair where Pope Benedict XVI sat during his Cyprus visit came out from their workshop and makes them truly proud. Agridiotis brothers stick to tradition, using the techniques learned from the masters but they do not stop there. They add their own vision and imagination and move on, along with their craft.

This hand carved, prototype Archangel statue, is made from soft pine. From this prototype, which is effectively a rough model, four other angels were created from walnut wood. The four angels act as pillars, holding up the Altar’s upper part, which consists of five domes.
