The yard of the church is paved, a donation by the village's inhabitants and emigrants. The church has no frescoes in its interior but the beautiful, woodcut icon screen is the church's remarkable "jewel". To the left and to the right of the "Orea Pyli" ("Beautiful Gate") we will come across the magisterial icons of the Lord. To the left there is that of the Blessed Virgin Mary, to the right the one of Christ, and further right from Christ there is that of John the Baptist. These icons come from the old Byzantine church that got ruined and they were transferred to today's church. It is worth noting that above the icon screen there are another two rows of icons, the so called "dodekaorto", which depict the most important moments of the Lord's life such as Palm Sunday, the Ascension, the Resurrection, and the waking of Lazarus. The icon dedicated to Saint Charalampos got burned and, so, they placed over that icon a hagiographic "face" of the Saint made with gold material, the so called "ypokamiso" (literally, "shirt"), with which they covered his icon. The saint is often a miracle-maker and a patron of priests. This is why, when in the church hymns are chanted in his memory, one hears the priest saying "… of the saint, glorious, holy martyr Charalampous". The long-lived, holy martyr lived to be -and martyred while being -more than a hundred years old. An old man with a broken down body but very young at heart. Old hands, old feet and old limbs but exercising like a young man; shaky in posture but a tower of patience and a diamond in endurance. He lived during the reign of the persecutor of Christians Seviros and the potentate Loukianos in the second to third century. For his devotion to the holy, apostolic faith of orthodoxy, he was captured by pagan tyrants and he suffered terrible tortures.

He is hanged, thrown into the fire, subjected to a number of other methods of torment and the more this snow-white and venerable old man is tortured, the more his soul youthfully chants:
" My youth is renewed like that of an eagle, o Lord, for Your love".
His name has been identified with joyfulness and brightness. He is celebrated on the 10th of February, on which day his Holy icon is carried about in procession. A folk fair is organised outside the church on that same day.

Country Church of Saint Neofytos
Outside the village of Kato Drys, in the south-west and upon a mountainside, stands a small, simple church that is dedicated to Saint Neofytos. It was constructed in 1923 through an initiative and the donations of the inhabitants. As the time passed it got ruined and now it is renovated, the expenses paid thoroughly by our fellow villager Anna Pattichi.

It is a small country church, the few faithful that go there in order to attend the service in reverence can enjoy it while being at a breath's distance from the priest. Since there was an abundance of quality stones in the region, almost all of the churches and chapels of the village were constructed with this type of stone. So, the small church of Saint Neofytos was also built with local stone. The roof is made out of wood and has tiles on top, the church having a single aisle. The village of Kato Drys is the birthplace of Saint Neofytos and until today the residence of the Saint is extant, although abandoned.

He was born in 1134 by poor parents. The times then were difficult and they could not provide Neofytos with any education. They were however able to offer him spiritual education. At 17 they engaged him against his will. With divine guidance he withdrew from "the vanity of life" and lead a monastic life. He wore the monk's garment with joy and enthusiasm and went to the Monastery of Saint Chrysostomos. Initially he was assigned the duty of attending the Monastery's vines because he was illiterate. For five years he performed this task, learning his first letters at the same time. His obedience to the divine will and his zeal were so great that he memorised the entire Book of Psalms. So, the prior got him to sing psalms as a second chanter. Later he visited the Holy Land for a pilgrimage to the holy sights and the holy grounds upon which the Lord once walked. Not having found what he was looking for, he returned to the Monastery feeling distressed. He realised that the monastery could not offer him the peace necessary for greater spiritual struggles due to the pilgrims and he attempted to leave Cyprus. At the port of Pafos he was arrested as an escapee and he was imprisoned. Through the intervention of other pious men he was released and then the monk Neofytos headed for the precipitous and verdant end of the "Melissovouno" (Bee Mountain, at the heights NE of the city of Pafos). There, after searching the area, he decided that this was the place he was looking for, a place unfrequented by people and truly quiet. He settled inside a cave. He started chasing the cave, many times with his own bear hands, continuing for an entire year (1159), separating it to a shrine of the Holy Cross and a cell of his own. Inside his cell he also carved out his own tomb. When the tomb was finished, he stood in front of it and said "Neofytos, even if you earn the entire world, nothing will remain yours other than this grave". The saint lived inside this cell, praying and leading an acetic life; for this reason he became known as "Egkleistos" (meaning "encloses", "pent", "recluse") with the cell and the carved temple as "Egkleistra". Saint Neofytos lived in seclusion for 60 years as a hermit, a monk, and a prior. Prayer and fast were what characterised his ascetic life.

A liturgy takes place in the country church once a year, during Saint Neofytos's day. His memory is celebrated twice a year, on the 28th of September and on the 24th of January.

Country Church of Saint George
Back then, because the terrain was not suitable for cultivation (it was too rocky) and the region's inhabitants could not work in the fields, they were occupied mostly with the making of embroideries. This was their bread-winning occupation. They were renowned for the great embroideries of Kato Drys. One of that era's inhabitants, Michael Hadji-orthodoxou, a merchant of embroideries, had the intention of promoting his embroideries abroad. He feared though that the customs' inspectors would open the bags containing the embroideries. He prayed to Saint George and said, "Saint George, perform your miracle so that the bags will not be opened and when I return to the village I will raise a church in your name". He made it and managed to get them all through. He found himself abroad with many of his renowned "katodrytika" ("of Kato Drys") embroideries. There he came across a very wealth lady who admired both the craftsmanship and the quality of the "Kato Drys" embroideries. She bought them all. With these money the man returned to the village full of enthusiasm. Using the money from the sale of the embroideries, he raised a small church, which he dedicated to Saint George. He constructed it right at the cave that Saint George had visited. It was built with local stone in 1950. It can be found in the south side, a few meters outside the village. It is a small and simple country church, barely able to host 20 believers. Internally it is very humble, simple, and austere. The icon of Saint George is from the Renaissance era and it obviously comes from the fathers of the Stavrovouni Monastery. It is not officiated often, however many prayers for requests take place there.
During Saint George's day on the 23rd of April, a celebratory liturgy takes place with the Saint's icon being carried about in procession.

The "Timios Prodromos" Country Church
It was built in the 12th century outside the village of Kato Drys, in the midst of the fields. It is a small country church that can barely host 15 believers. Externally it is made of stone with simple tiles and its back end resembling a Byzantine structure. Remains of the foundations and a wall can be seen there today, something witnessing the previous existence of an old church of "Timios Prodromos" (John the Baptist) that got demolished. Internally it is very humble, simple, and inconspicuous. The icon dedicated to John the Baptist comes from the renaissance and it is placed upon a special icon-stand in the "Panagia Eleousa" church. A liturgy takes place in it once or twice a year. The region's faithful show great reverence. It celebrates on the 24th of June.

The "Panagia Eleousa" Church

At the edge of the village and to the east, in the midst of traditional houses, stands the church of "Panagia Eleousa" (Blessed Virgin Mary the Merciful). It is a 12th century structure and it is the village's old church. It was renovated by the Antiquities Department. It is a very small church that can accommodate 20 faithful. Externally it is made of stone with the architectural form of a single-aisle Byzantine church. In its interior it is a simple church with a woodcut icon screen and two Psalters.

There are two very old icons dedicated to the Virgin Mary.
During the times of the Turkish rule and the Crusades, the heathens furiously and fanatically struck the icons and destroyed them.

In order to protect them the inhabitants covered them with a gold, hagiographic cover, the so-called "ypokamiso" (literally, "shirt").

Today they can be found at the icon screen of the "Panagia Eleousa" church.

It celebrates on the 15th of August in a festive manner, this being the day of the Assumption. It is a significant day for the inhabitants of the Kato Drys community.
