History of Astronism in Cyprus
Astronism is not presently recognised as a religion in Cyprus and the number of Astronists in the country has been estimated at 590 people as of December 2020.
Translations of Astronist content into Greek and Turkish have not yet occurred as of 2020 which presents further barriers to Cypriot Astronists accessing more sophisticated information about Astronism.
