Icon Stand of Eleousa Church, Christmas Issue Icon Stands,Republic of Cyprus
Description
The icon-stand illustrated on the 35m stamp is in the Church of the Virgin Mary of Eleousa in the village of Athienou near Larnaca. The Church was built in 1711 A.D. and the icon-stand is a magnificent example of baroque gilded wood carving of the period still standing in excellent condition. Exquisitely carved with angels, eagles, birds and horses, it is supported by four well-modelled lions which form its base.
