Description
An account of the resource
Halloumi (fresh or mature) is the Cypriot cheese, made from sheep's or goat's milk or a mixture of the two previous with or without cow's milk.
A lot of reports have testified to the production of Halloumi in Cyprus since ancient times. Venice Doge Leonardo Dona, who lived in Cyprus for two years 1556 - 1558 AC, in one of his manuscripts makes reference to this Cypriot product by attributing it as "calumi". There are also many other references to Halloumi, including that of Archimandrite Kyprianou in 1788 AC.
The characteristics of Halloumi, and in particular its ability not to melt at high temperatures, allow it to be consumed in a variety of ways. Thus, food enthusiasts can enjoy it both grilled or fried as well as a component of pasta or soup (such as trachanas).
Halloumi holds a special position in the Cypriot consumer's diet, but is also the first exported agricultural product of Cyprus. It should be stressed that Halloumi, as a Cypriot product, is already protected in several countries through registered trademarks. An application has already been submitted to the European Commission, from Cyprus, for registration of the name Halloumi/Hellim in the European Register as a Protected Designation of Origin (PDO).

An account of the resource
The Christmas triptych stamp with a religious content emanates from an icon – triptych (1764) painted in the hagiographic workshop of the Monastery of Agios Irakleidios in Politiko and belongs to the medieval church of Our Lady (Panagia) Chryseleousa Strovolos. On the reverse side of the side panels appear the signs of the Passion (Arma Christi) while in the central part of the triptych, the two-layered representation depicts the Panagia Kykkotissa and St. Luke holding a painting and a painting bowl, which refer to the tradition that the icon of Panagia of Kykkos is his own work.
The depiction of the impressive triple masted sailing boat infers the protection of ships and seafarers by Panagia Kykkotissa or is a reminder of the ownership of the boat by the monastery. The panel on the left hand side depicts the military St. Minas the Egyptian and the panel on the right hand side depicts St. Spyridon bishop of Trimythous of Cyprus.

Christmas is probably the most special and magical time of year for all of us, but especially for children.
The 64-cent stamp depicts a letter to Santa Claus. Children write their letters early asking Santa to bring them the gift they want. The Cyprus Post Office helps Santa Claus communicate with the children by forwarding their letters and the letters that he sends them with much love!
The 34 cent stamps depict one of the children’s magical moments, the opening of gifts they have been waiting for Santa Claus to place under the Christmas tree.

This year’s common theme adopted by member states of the Postal Union for the Mediterranean “Euromed” is “Trees of the Mediterranean.
Trees are perennial sentient plants without which mankind will cease to exist. Thousands of years ago Cyprus was famous for the abundance of its trees which were cut down for smelting copper and shipbuilding.
The Mediterranean region is home to a great variety of fruit trees such as the carob, the olive and orange trees. The olive tree can live for thousands of years. Other common trees of the Mediterranean are the pine, palm and cedar trees.
The stamp depicts a composite tree featuring the leaves of the olive and pine trees and the fruits of the carob and orange trees.

An account of the resource
The United Nations General Assembly at its 70th session proclaimed 2017 as the International Year of Sustainable Tourism for Development.
The Universal Postal Union invited its members to engage in this global celebration by issuing a commemorative stamp. Cyprus Post’s contribution will enhance the work of the United Nations in advancing the role of tourism in building a more sustainable future for all, while stressing the important link between tourism and philately.
Whilst philately is in decline the world over, tourism is on an unprecedented rise and Cyprus has benefitted greatly. This expansion in tourism gives postal administrations the opportunity to promote their respective countries by having beautiful and attractive stamps available for use by tourists when they send postcards or letters back home or to friends.
A well designed stamp that attracts the eye of the recipient of any mail, may well arouse in him or her the desire to learn more about the country, its stamp issues or even its history.

An account of the resource
The theme of this year’s series “EUROPA” which is selected by the European Postal Organisation (PostEurop) and is common to all the organization’s member states, is “ Castles”. The series “Europa 2017” is composed of two stamps which depict castles of Cyprus.
The stamp of 41c stamp depicts the Castle of Larnaka and its present day form. It was originally built by the Ottomans in 1625, replacing an older Lusignan castle which had been damaged. The castle was used as a military garrison residence and to protect the neighboring anchorage.
The 64c stamp depicts the castle of Paphos castle which has been a declared Ancient Monument since 1935 and a UNESCO World Heritage List monument, along with other monuments of the archaeological park of Paphos, since 1980. It is located in the harbour area of Paphos town and its main role was to control the gateway of the port and provide defence against any hostile troops . Most scholars agree upon the mid-/late-14th century as its date of erection by the Frankish ruling family of the Lusignans, despite there being no solid and reliable testimonies regarding any fortification works carried out between the earthquake of 1222 and the invasion of the Genoese in 1373. Its importance lies in the symbolic meaning as the most prominent and dominant archaeological monument of Paphos and therefore it is considered a landmark for tourists and the town itself.
The castle adorns several types of media such as photographs, postcards, postage stamps and gravures. Today the castle is open to the public to visit as a sightseeing.

50 years of the Cyprus Medical Association
The Cyprus Medical Association was established by law in 1967. Doctors who practice medicine on the island are obliged to be registered as members of the Association. At present it has about 3250 members.
The Association safeguards the rights of its members, promotes the continuous upgrading of the quality of health services and, through constructive intervention, benefits both patients and society in general.
It contributes to scientific, social and cultural life by organising conferences, meetings, events and activities
The Cyprus Medical Association provides advice and facilities to its members with regard to their relationship and cooperation with the State, the Authorities and other organisations.
It cooperates with other national and international bodies in order to achieve its goals.
60 Years of Cyprus Television
Cyprus television first broadcast in 1957. The development of Cyprus television and radio began in 1960, with the establishment of the Republic of Cyprus. During this period it changed its name from the Cyprus Broadcasting Service to the Cyprus Broadcasting Corporation (CyBC) and has operated as a semi-governmental organisation since then.
A refreshing and creative spirit has marked the course of CyBC since independence.
Public Broadcasting evolved rapidly from its early days, with ever-increasing numbers of programmes, creative staffing and the renewal of transmitters and relay stations.
From the first day that CyBC started its operations it has recorded the daily life of the Cypriot people and has handled all crises with the seriousness and responsibility that its role demands, especially that of 1974.
100 Years of the Lions
The Lions (Liberty, Intelligence, Our Nation’s Safety), the international association of clubs, is the largest organisation of volunteers in the world, providing services to people and society. For the past 100 years (1917-2017), under their slogan ‘WE SERVE’, the organisation has offered its services, free of political, religious, racial or other creeds and interests. It is represented in the United Nations and all charitable organisations. There are 46,000 Clubs with 1.400.000 members in 202 countries.
Key pillars of contribution are the environment, youth, vision and poverty. Through countless programmes, they plant thousands of hectares of trees, prevent blindness in millions of people, help to cure and fight diseases and dependencies and build schools and hospitals.

Description
An account of the resource
In order to handle the massive problems caused by the Turkish invasion of Cyprus in 1974, with 200.000 Greek Cypriots displaced in their own country, the Government of the Republic of Cyprus set up a “Special Refugee Fund”. To support the Fund and to reduce the financial impact of the refugee problem, Cyprus Post issued a special refugee stamp, which, under legislation, must accompany every object to be posted.
The 3 mils stamp from the 1971 Definitive Issue, which was overprinted with 10 mils value and the wording “Refugee Fund” in black, was the first refugee stamp.
At the end of 1974 the first official 10 mils refugee stamp was issued, depicting a Cypriot refugee old woman holding her grandchild on her shoulders.
In 1977 a new refugee stamp was in circulation, valued at 10 mils, in a black and white design by the well-known Greek engraver Tassos, depicting a refugee boy from Cyprus, sadly sitting in front of the barbed wires of occupation.
This particular refugee stamp was issued until 1984, when it was re - issued in the same black and white design valued at 1 cent. From 1988 until 2007, the same refugee stamp was issued in grey background. In 2008, it was re-issued at the value of €0,02. Since 2009, the refugee stamp has been re-issued with the same design, but with a different-coloured font. This year the refugee stamp has been re-issued in a grey-blue background.
