nuns also work in the fields of the monasteries, cultivating and harvesting the crop, mainly that of olives, fruit and grain; or, they are involved in floriculture. Animal husbandry is even today a means of financial support for many monasteries and a significant number of monks are also occupied with the breeding of lambs, as well as with bee-keeping. The income among the monastic community from farming and stock breeding deaconship permits the smooth functioning of the monastery, the carrying out of charitable works, the issuing of spiritually edifying publications; and humanitarian aid is sent to our fellow human beings who are grieving and suffering in third-world countries, as well as to war-torn areas of the planet. Fig. 38. Nun in the Monastery of Agios Georgios Alamanos, Lemesos. The coenobitic way of life in the monasteries, that is, the co-existence of all monks under a common roof, sharing a common table and participating in monastic service, as well as receiving spiritual guidance from the Abbot or Abbess and the resident bishop – all constitute the main form of monastic life and asceticism in the monasteries of the island. Some of the monasteries of <strong>Cyprus</strong> have also preserved old traditions in their functioning with the ‘no-go’ institution, that is, in monasteries for men the presence of women is not permitted (for example, the Monastery of Stavrovouni), and in those for women the entrance of men is correspondingly banned. Today, the monastic institutions for men (for example, Kykkos, Stavrovouni, Machairas and Agios Neofytos) or for women (Agios Irakleidios, Panagia Amasgou, Agios Panteleimonas) constitute spiritual oases for the Christian, places of solace and spiritual support, as well as places of holy initiation, where every day a large number of believers go for spiritual support and communion with the divine.
