Title A name given to the resource Turkish Invasion and Violation of Human Rights, 20th Anniversary of the Turkish Invasion and Occupation of Cyprus, Republic of Cyprus Subject The topic of the resource Postage stamps--Cyprus--History Γραμματόσημα--Κύπρος--Ιστορία Description An account of the resource No matter how deplorable one may consider the invasion and occupation of Cyprus to be, the most lamentable and unforgivable crime is the destruction of the island's cultural heritage in the occupied part of the island. When nations and peoples are proud to promote their culture, when the United Nations encourages and recognizes outstanding works of civilizations past and present, and records them in its World Heritage List, the invaders delight in destroying what they are incapable of creating. With a world turning a blind eye, churches are stripped of their treasures or turned intomosques, centuries’ old mosaics and icons are destroyed or plundered and all is done as a systematic erasure of a culture alien to the occupying forces. Mankind's barbaric instincts have not changed since the beginning of time, but will the 21st century herald a new beginning for humanity?

Title A name given to the resource Cross, Machairas Monastery, Christmas Issue Machairas M onastery, Republic of Cyprus Subject The topic of the resource Postage stamps--Cyprus--History Γραμματόσημα--Κύπρος--Ιστορία Description An account of the resource An old legend ascribes the founding of the monastery to an aged hermit called Neophytus. Expelled from Syria in the 12th Century, he came to Cyprus with his faithful disciple Ignatius and built a cell on mount Aoos. They sought and obtained Royal funds and land to build a church and a monastery. Soon more followers came and among them was Neilos who appears on the scene in 1172 and to whom the founding is now attributed. In 1201 Neilos wrote down the rules and regulations of the monastery and its early history which became known as the "" Typical Ordinance of Machairas"". In 1393 King James I and his court took refuge here during the period of the great plague. In 1892 the church and the monastery were completely destroyed by fire and later re -built in their present form. The Icon of the Virgin Mary and the Ordinance of Machairas survived this catastrophy and are preserved in the monastery's small museum. Today the monks and the abbot are all holders of University degrees not only in theology but in other disciplines such as medicine, economics and engineering. The monastery ranks second to that of Kykko in sanctity and importance.

Title A name given to the resource Cyprus Ceda, Trees of Cyprus Thematic Issue, Republic of Cyprus Subject The topic of the resource Postage stamps--Cyprus--History Γραμματόσημα--Κύπρος--Ιστορία Description An account of the resource Trees of Cyprus are part of the natural heritage of the island. Two thousand years ago Eratosthenes (c.276194 B.C.), Greek astronomer and scholar had said that the fields of Cyprus were so densely covered with trees that the land could not be cultivated. Even though trees were cut down for shipbuilding and the continuous smelting of minerals (copper being one such metal), no human device could exhaust the wood. It was therefore decided by the Council that every man would be allowed to own whatever land he could bring into cultivation by cutting down the trees. Fertile fields were thus created but times have since changed and conservation and re-forestation are orders of the day. The Cyprus Cedars are endemic to the Tripylos area of the Paphos forest and many are more than five hundred years old. They have a distinctive and pleasing aroma and are resilient to insect and fungal attacks. This may explain why people tucked pieces of cedar wood in their wardrobes to protect their clothes. Probably, for the same reason, this wood has often been used to build the magnificently carved iconostases in the churches.

Title A name given to the resource Allegorical Motif, 125th Anniversary of Universal Postal Union (U.P.U.), Republic of Cyprus Subject The topic of the resource Postage stamps--Cyprus--History Γραμματόσημα--Κύπρος--Ιστορία Description An account of the resource Among other activities, the U.P.U. is responsible for coordinating and super vising the introduction of new services. On July 1st 1875 a postcard rate was introduced for the first time for cards going abroad. Inter national express mail was introduced in 1885 followed by insured mail in 1899 and the International Reply Paid Coupon in 1907-8. After the second World War although the U.P.U.’s importance for the standardization of international rates continued, its effect on new services declined. In an earlier meeting in Madrid in 1920 member states were given more freedom to amend overseas rates thus enabling a number of anomalies to be removed.

Title A name given to the resource Allegorical Motif, 125th Anniversary of Universal Postal Union (U.P.U.), Republic of Cyprus Subject The topic of the resource Postage stamps--Cyprus--History Γραμματόσημα--Κύπρος--Ιστορία Description An account of the resource Among other activities, the U.P.U. is responsible for coordinating and super vising the introduction of new services. On July 1st 1875 a postcard rate was introduced for the first time for cards going abroad. Inter national express mail was introduced in 1885 followed by insured mail in 1899 and the International Reply Paid Coupon in 1907-8. After the second World War although the U.P.U.’s importance for the standardization of international rates continued, its effect on new services declined. In an earlier meeting in Madrid in 1920 member states were given more freedom to amend overseas rates thus enabling a number of anomalies to be removed.
