Title
Christmas 2023
Description
The two festive stamps depict the festive spirit of Christmas with children singing carols and a decorated Christmas tree.
The 64 cent stamp depicts the Nativity of Christ.
In a simplistic manner and in accordance with the Nazarene style, the Nativity of Christ, a signed work by the painter Constantis Sergios dated 1961, is situated in the alcove of the altar of the occupied church of Agios Ioannis of Prodromos in the enclosed city of Famagusta (Varosia). The place where the divine Nativity scene is situated is of particular interest since it symbolizes the Nativity cave and the area where offerings are given, namely the preparation of the sacred gifts by the priest.
