On 9 July 1821, Kyprianos of Cyprus, the Archbishop of the Church of Cyprus, was executed by the Ottoman Turks authorities in Nicosia, along with many of the island’s leading bishops, clergy, and lay leaders.

The event is remembered as one of the darkest days in Cypriot history.

Earlier that year, the Greek War of Independence had begun in the Peloponnese Greece (March 1821).

Although Cyprus did not rise in open revolt, the Ottoman Turk governor feared that the island’s Greek Orthodox population might join the revolution.

To prevent any possible uprising, the Ottoman Turk authorities decided to eliminate the island’s religious and community leadership.

The executions
On 9 July 1821:

Archbishop Kyprianos was publicly hanged in Nicosia.

The three metropolitan bishops of Cyprus of Paphos, Kition, and Kyrenia were beheaded.

Many abbots, priests, prominent citizens, and community leaders were also executed.

In the weeks that followed, hundreds more Greek Cypriots were imprisoned or killed.

The purpose was to intimidate the population and prevent support for the Greek Revolution.

Did Kyprianos support the Revolution?

Historical evidence suggests that Kyprianos sympathized with the cause of Greek independence and had contacts with members of the secret revolutionary organization Filiki Eteria.

However, he also tried to protect the people of Cyprus by avoiding an open revolt on the island, knowing Cyprus had only a small Greek population, few weapons, and a large Ottoman Turk military presence.

Despite these efforts, the Ottoman Turk authorities did not trust him and ordered his execution.

Archbishop Kyprianos is remembered as:
A martyr of the Greek Orthodox Church in Cyprus.
A national hero of Cyprus.
A symbol of faith, sacrifice, and the island’s connection to the wider Greek struggle for independence.

His final sacrifice became immortalized in the famous poem “9th of July 1821” by Vasilis Michaelides, considered one of the masterpieces of Cypriot Greek literature.

A line traditionally attributed to Kyprianos before his execution expresses his determination to remain with his flock:

“I do not abandon my people.”

This event remains one of the most significant commemorations in Cyprus each year, honoring the clergy and civilians who lost their lives on 9 July 1821.

In summery

Archbishop Kyprianos of Cyprus chose to remain with his flock despite knowing the danger. On this day, he was hanged by the Ottoman Turk authorities in Nicosia, while the Metropolitans of Paphos, Kition, and Kyrenia were executed alongside many clergy and lay leaders.

Their sacrifice became a lasting symbol of the faith, courage, and endurance of the people of Cyprus.

Αἰωνία ἡ μνήμη.
Eternal be their memory.

In 2015, ISIS captured Palmyra and demanded its head of antiquities reveal where the treasures were hidden.

He was 81 years old. He refused.

Khaled al-Asaad had spent over 50 years excavating and protecting Palmyra, the caravan city that once rivalled Rome in the Syrian desert.

He learned Aramaic to read its inscriptions. He raised his children among its ruins and named his daughter Zenobia, after its rebel queen.

Before the city fell, he helped evacuate hundreds of artefacts to safety. ISIS interrogated him for weeks to find them. But he gave them nothing.

They executed him in the square and left his body among the columns he had spent his life defending.

Archaeology is not a soft profession. Sometimes the people who guard the past die for it.
