Title
Christmas, Commemorative Issue
Description
Τhe fresco depicting the Birth of Christ originates from the small Church of the Archangel Michael in the village of Vyzakia. The church contains one of most interesting series of wall paintings of the 16th century all of which introduce Venetian iconographical elements. The paintings are highly expressive but naïve. Note the shepherd at the lower left hand side; he looks more like an actor straight out of some play.
A visitor to the Church can marvel at some sixteen paintings that have survived the passage of centuries.
