Relation A related resource www.cypruspost.gov.cy Title A name given to the resource Chain, EUROPA Issue, Republic of Cyprus Description An account of the resource Cypriots place great importance on blessings and wishes. They desire from the depths of their hearts that such wishes come to pass. The more virtuous is the person making the wish the higher is the probability of the wish coming true. The blessings of parents are highly valued. A curse uttered by a person is often the result of a furious or deadly hate for one or other reason. The curse invokes the Goddess of Justice to punish the person responsible for the rage or anger. In ancient times curses were invocations to the Goddess Nemesis and her Erinnyes. In Greek mythology the Erinnyes or Furies were called Tisiphone, Alecto and Megaera and are older than Zeus or any of the other Olympian Gods. Their task was to punish crimes by hounding the culprits relentlessly without rest or pause. Cypriots are accustomed to curses but they fear them when they know they have done something bad. The most dreaded curses are those of a priest, a parent or grandparent. A person wishing to call down a curse must with his head uncovered and his hands raised to the heavens, voice his pain as he asks at the same time for the punishment he wills on whoever wronged him.

Santa Claus brings the gifts on the eve of New Year. St. Basil the Great, Bishop of Caesarea had his name associated with carols, the gifts and the vassilopitta (type of cake), which the faithful share on New Year's Day when they celebrate his name day.It is well to refer to the amazing story of the Saint. Saint Basil was accustomed to share gifts and charity to the poor everywhere. The poorest places were to be found in the nearby desert where people had built their houses in the ground to be cooler, while others had built them to withstand attacks from other races. Only the church was built above ground. During this period St. Basil used to go about dropping his charitable gifts down the chimneys of these poor houses.

Title A name given to the resource Flaming Sun, EUROPA Issue, Republic of Cyprus Subject The topic of the resource Postage stamps--Cyprus--History Γραμματόσημα--Κύπρος--Ιστορία Description An account of the resource Hadjiavantis was a building contractor who undertook to build a house for the Pasha.He hired Karaghiozis, a master builder, and a number of laborers and artisans, yet the work did not progress fast enough and the Pasha was threatening Hadjiavantis with death if he did not tell him the reason for the long delay. Hadjiavantis was so scared that he blamed Karaghiozis for the delay because from morning till night he was telling jokes and the laborers were laughing instead of working. The Pasha was angered and had Karaghiozis killed. The unjust killing however traumatized the people. The Pasha having overcome his anger built a beautiful memorial for Karaghiozis and showered him with honors. But this episode cost the Pasha dearly and he fell seriously ill. Hadjiavantis often visited the Pasha to recount him the jokes of Karaghiozis to cheer him up, but it was to no avail. One day Hadjiavantis cut out a figure in the shape of Karaghiozis, stretched it on a canvas, lit it up and made the figure to move and tell jokes causing Karaghiozis to give his first performance. The Pasha was so pleased that he permitted Hadjiavantis to give performances to the people that they too may enjoy the jokes of Karaghiozis.

Built as a fortress and never taken by assault it is one of the most ancient monuments in Cyprus and has the most colourful of histories. In 1191, it was surrendered to Guy de Lusignan who then took into custody the wife and daughter of Emperor Isaac Comnenos. In later years it served as a residence and a place of refuge and intrigue for the kings and queens of Cyprus. Here also in 1394 A.D. King Hugh IV imprisoned his two sons. Within its walls, down a dark passage, is the tiny chapel of St. George to which reference was made in the will of a certain lady Piemadabena of Ferrara who donated five bezants that mass should be said for her soul here.

It was re-built after 1570 and adapted as a khan. In the middle is a vast courtyard surrounded by rooms on the ground and upper floors. The upper rooms were used for guests while the rooms on the ground floor were used as shops or stores. After 1878 and until 1893 it was used as a prison. Until the 1950s one could still see traders driving their camels into the courtyard. In 1963 it was classified as an ancient monument, to be restored as a museum of Turkish and Islamic Art.
