Inside the chapel, there are wax candles which are lit for those who are no more in the world but these candles are also used when a person wants to find out whether the other person is in love with him or not. He first has to light the candle then holding it upside down, he has to say his partner&#8217;s name aloud three times. If the candle stays burning strong, it means that the love is real.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelhouseuk.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/shutterstock_223698103.jpg\">\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cyprus the birthplace of Aphrodite and one of the most authentic historical destinations is our pick to add in the bucket list.
