Title
Christmas, Commemorative Issue
Description
All the icons of the Christmas set originate from the Church of Panagia Katholiki which stands in the middle of the village of Pelendri. They date from the very early 16th century. The village lies south east of the village of Kato Amiandos in the Troodos mountains.
The 68c stamp depicts the Virgin Mary holding the Christ Child on her left arm while Christ himself is raising his right hand in a gesture of benediction. In his left hand he is holding a parchment roll.
Together with the icons of Archangels Gabriel and Michael, they form part of the eleven icons on the epistyle of the iconostasis. All the icons are executed in the Italo-Byzantine style. ( Andreas & Judith Stylianou, The Painted Churches of Cyprus )
