The mosaic artwork, created by Cypriot icon painters and others from Greece and Romania, depicts a vivid and colorful scene that is both welcoming and deeply religious. Situated in the stunning Monti Troodos region, Kykkos Monastery is renowned as one of the wealthiest and most well-known monastic sites in Cyprus.

The mosaic itself portrays an earthly staircase adorned with wings, symbolizing the ascension of souls towards heaven. It invites viewers to contemplate their own spiritual journey while marveling at the intricate tile work that brings this scene to life. With its bold imagery and inviting depiction of afterlife, this artwork beckons worshippers to climb higher on their path towards God.
