Description<\/h4>\n

No trace of the original painting has been preserved in the chancel of the church of the Holy Cross. Nevertheless, it is recognized that the chancel conch was initially decorated with mosaic which was gradually destroyed in the church which was damaged and whose dome collapsed during the Arab invasion. The example of the minor church of the Holy Cross is cited as an evidence of mosaic decoration in the chancel of the church, where yet at the beginning of the 20th century, there had survived traces of mosaic on the triumphal arch of the chancel.<\/p>\n\n
