Nicosia, known locally as Lefkosia (Greek: Λευκωσία) or Lefkoşa (Turkish)

Nicosia / Lefkosia or Lefkosa, is still a divided city (since 1974) – divided (as is the rest of the country) into the Turkish ruled Northern Cyprus and the southern (Greek) portions divided by the “Green Line”, a demilitarized zone maintained by the United Nations.

Therefore, it is interesting to note that Cyprus, as mentioned in the Bible in Acts 13, was the Apostle Paul’s first destination when he was first sent by the Holy Spirit into a missionary journey.
