Title
Christmas, Commemorative Issue
Description
Both icons were among many items that were looted after the Turkish invasion of 1974 and only after a great deal of effort by the Republic of Cyprus and the Church were they repatriated from Germany in November 2008.
The 51c stamp depicts the Guiding Virgin (Panagia Odigitria) from the Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Lysi. The icon is attributed to Chrysanthos of Ayios Eraklidios School and dates from the late 18th century.
The 22c stamp depicts the Virgin holding the Child Christ and seated on a wooden throne. It originates from the Christ Antiphonitis Church in the village of Kalogrea in the district of Keryneia. It is dated between the end of the 15th century and the beginning of the 16th century.
