An account of the resource
Οn 20th July 1974 Turkey invaded Cyprus. But instead of restoring the legitimate government as envisaged in Article 3 of the Cyprus
Treaty of Guarantee, it resorted to divide the island with the result that about 200,000 people had to flee from their homes thus becoming
refugees in their own homeland. Also some 1600 people went missing.
Article 3 of the Treaty reads as follows: In the event of a breach of the provisions of the present treaty, Greece, Turkey and the United Kingdom undertake to consult together with respect to representations or measures to ensure observance of these provisions.
In so far as common or concerted action may not be possible, each of the guaranteeing powers reserves the right to take action with the sole aim of re-establishing the state of affairs created by the present treaty.
It should be noted that in the above paragraph the guaranteeing powers reserve the right to take unilateral action which is not specified and which makes no reference to the use of force. It has, however, a sole aim, that of re-establishing the state of affairs established by the treaty.
Turkey by its action failed to uphold the independence and sovereignty of Cyprus as set out in the treaties it had signed.

Christmas Issue, Repatriated Icons

Description
An account of the resource
The three icons of this year’s Christmas issue together with another 169 ecclesiastical treasures which had been looted from churches in the North were repatriated in November 2013 from Munich, Germany, after many years of legal battles.
The 64c stamp depicts the 16th century icon of the Virgin Mary Glykofilousa (Virgin of the Tenderness or Virgin of the Tender Kiss) from the Church of Agia Zoni in the Orthodox quarter of the old walled city of Famagusta. This was a small 14th or 15th century building in the Byzantine style dedicated to the “Holy Girdle” i.e. Zoni of the Blessed Virgin Mary. The Church lies in a ruinous state.
This icon which is painted in the style of the Cyprus Renaissance is of exceptional artistry. It is, however, cracked and the paint surface from some areas is missing. When, where and how the damage occurred is a matter of conjecture.
All the repatriated relics are currently on exhibition at the Byzantine Museum of Archbishop Makarios III Foundation in Nicosia.

Description
An account of the resource
Τhe Prince of Venice is the Cypriot folk tale of the King of Pafos and his three daughters. It is a tale where love, jealousy, evil intentions, magic, determination, repentance and courage unfold to bring a happy ending to the King’s youngest princess who ends up marrying her Venetian Prince.
The story begins with the King taking a trip abroad. His eldest daughters ask him to bring them beautiful dresses and jewellery but his youngest daughter, after consulting an old woman, asks him to bring her three golden strands of hair from the head of the Prince of Venice. The King manages after some difficulties to obtain the strands of hair from the Prince’s barber and brings them to his daughter. Once again the princess consults the old woman who instructs her how to cast a spell over a period of three days that would bring the Prince to her side. Jealousy compels her elder sisters to sabotage the spell and on the third day the Prince gets seriously hurt and flies back home.
The young princess sets out with great determination to find her Prince, and once again magic plays its part. While resting in the forest she learns how to brew a new potion that would heal her Prince. After preparing the magic potion she resumes her journey and reaches Venice where she learns that
the King’s son is gravely ill and dying.
She disguises herself as a handsome young man and spreads the news that she is a doctor that can cure all ills. Soon the King sends for her and she succeeds to heal the Prince in three days by smearing his body with the potion. She accepts no rewards but asks only for the Prince’s ring which he gladly gives her.
The princess now returns to Cyprus to find that her sisters had repented their actions and with their help she re-enacts her original magic and lures the Prince to her side. The Prince arrives as a golden eagle and draws his sword to kill her for the harm she had brought on him. The princess then shows him the ring he had given her and tells him her story. The Prince forgives her and asks that preparations are made for their marriage. After three days of joyous celebrations the Prince dons his uniform and is transformed into a golden eagle and embracing his wife they fly to his father’s palace where
she is welcomed. Forty days and nights of celebrations ensue.
The King abdicates in favour of his son who then reigns as king with his beautiful wife as his queen.

An account of the resource
Costas Montis was born in Ammochostos in 1914. He studied law at the University of Athens but never practiced as a lawyer. He had a varied career as a teacher, poet, journalist, editor and as Director of Tourism from 1960 to 1976 when he retired.
He was a prolific writer having published several works in the Cypriot dialect. He was instrumental in the founding of the first professional theatre in 1942 and wrote many plays including adaptations of the plays of Aristophanes. As a poet he is recognized as Cyprus’ greatest and his long poetic sequence “Letters to Mother” is considered a masterpiece.
In 1964 his book “Closed Doors” was published in Greek. It is a novel narrating the struggle for Cypriot freedom in which the narrator re-lives the curfews, communal fines, informers, tortures and other ills that were endured during the liberation uprising of 1955-1959. It is a record of life as it was in Lefkosia during the emergency period of the 1950s. For those who have read Lawrence Durell’s “Bitter Lemons” it would be good to read Montis’ “Closed Doors” as it depicts the other side of the coin. There is an English translation by S. G. Stavrou and David Roessel.
Costas Montis has had many honours bestowed on him including an honourary doctorate from the University of Athens and an Award for Excellence in Letters and Arts from the Republic of Cyprus. In 1999 he was nominated for the Nobel Prize by the School of Philosophy of the University of Cyprus and the Ministry of Education and Culture.
Costas Montis died in 2004 and will be remembered as one of the founders of modern Cypriot literature.
The pioneers of contemporary Cypriot art of whom Kashalos is one often worked under difficult conditions but managed to lay the foundations for the development of Cypriot art.
Cyprus in the first half of the 20th century was predominantly agricultural and the pioneer painters drew inspiration from rural everyday life of the people as well as old customs and traditions.
Michael Kashalos, born in 1885 in the village of Asha, was a self-taught naïve artist whose paintings portrayed the peasantry and the simple life of the countryside. In his painting “Scything” we see a farmer transporting women reapers with their scythes in his donkey driven cart and meeting another field worker on the road close to the corn fields. It reminds one of past nostalgic years long since forgotten. In another painting he depicts men and women eating “pilafi” after having harvested the corn.
In 1969, Kashalos represented Cyprus with ten paintings at the Bratislava 2nd Triennale of naïve art where he was presented with one of the main awards. This was the decisive moment that established his name and reputation.
Michael Kashalos is considered the father of contemporary Cypriot art and many of his works are in private collections. At the A.G.Leventis Gallery in Lefkosia one can view his painting “The Kalikantzari (Goblins)”.
Kashalos died in 1974 having been badly wounded when the Turkish army captured his village.

An account of the resource
Αutumn, the season from September’s equinox to December’s solstice, is when the leaves of deciduous trees begin to turn red, yellow and brown before falling and carpeting the ground below. The beauty of autumnal foliage is a sight to behold especially in the western Troodos Mountains around the medieval tselefos bridge.
Autumn is also the primary harvesting season and before the 16th century “Harvest” was the term used to refer to this time of the year. The terms “Herfst” and “Herbst” are still used in Dutch and German respectively. In many cultures harvest festivals are held and in the United States harvested pumpkins play an important part in the Thanksgiving and Halloween festivities.
It is autumn and the hot sweltering summer months give way to the chill winter on the horizon; the skies turn grey, the first rains fall and animals such as bats and hedgehogs begin their search for a place to hibernate. The swallows and the swifts begin their flight south taking them thousands of miles to Africa and a warmer climate and man begins his preparations for the coming of the winter season.

Τhe Mediterranean, encompassing the continents of Western Asia, North Africa and Southern Europe, and connected to the Atlantic Ocean, is almost completely enclosed.
For 10,000 years it has been instrumental in the rise and fall of civilizations and empires and a witness to the interactions of cultures and diverse peoples such as the Greeks, the Persians, the Egyptians, the Phoenicians, the Romans, the Venetians, the Ottomans, as well as the Christian and Islamic cultures.
In Classical antiquity it saw King Agamemnon launch 1,000 ships to the rescue of his beautiful Helen and during the apogee of Phoenician culture and sea-power, saw the settlements of Byblos, Tyre and Sidon, all mentioned in the Egyptian Amarna tablets.
During the reign of the Roman Emperor Augustus it was called “Mare Nostrum” and was free of piracy. In the 12th century it saw the expansion of the Kingdom of Italy and one can say it’s been the cradle of civilization.
This sea has been the venue of many sea battles fought between rival empires and was the main area of the battles of World War II between the axis and the allies. Today thousands of refugees and migrants from Africa endeavour to cross to Europe in search of a better
life and many perish in its waters.
The history of the Mediterranean is the history of mankind in this part of the world.

An account of the resource
Δominikos Theotokopoulos famously known as “El Greco” was born in 1541 in Candia, Crete. As a young icon painter
he left his native land c.1567 and travelled to Venice. There he adopted Catholicism and probably became a pupil of Titian. He moved to Rome where his critical attitude to Michaelangelo’s works did not endear him to the local art world. A friendly Cardinal invited him to travel to Spain where he settled in the city of Toledo until his death in 1614.
For two and a half centuries after his death, critics and other contemporary painters gave little credence to his works and thought of him as unlikely to deserve more than a footnote in history. He had failed to win the King’s favour for the manner in which he portrayed theological tenets and received no more commissions from the Toledo Cathedral. In 2004, a previously unknown painting of his “The Baptism of Christ” fetched 789,250 Pounds at Christie’s auction.
El Greco’s patrons were private chapels and smaller religious institutions that allowed him to develop his unique style of painting. It was not until the 19th century that El Greco was recognized as one of the great prophets of modern art. His most famous painting “The Burial of Count Orgas” is now in the Church of St. Tome in Toledo.
The painting of St. Francis in Ecstasy (c.1585-1590) by El Greco can be viewed at the A.G.Leventis Gallery in Lefkosia.
El Greco was buried in Santo Dominigo el Antigao under the large “Adoration of the Shepherds” painted in 1612-14. The Church was destroyed in the 19th century and El Greco’s tomb was lost.
Galileo Galilei was born in 1546 in Pisa, Italy. He entered Pisa University but left without a degree in 1585. In 1592 he entered Padua University where as professor of mathematics he taught until 1610.
In 1609 having heard of the invention of the telescope in the Netherlands, he set about to build his own improved version. In 1610 he discovers Jupiter’s four moons and infers that the earth is not the centre of the universe.
In 1616 he was summoned by Cardinal Bellarmine and told that he must abandon any idea that the sun stood still and the earth revolved around it, and that he should refrain from teaching or defending such a view in writing or by word of mouth. But Galileo could not keep silent and in his book “Dialogue”, published in 1632, he mocked the Papal arguments that adhered to the Ptolemic model of the universe in which heavenly bodies orbit the earth. Galileo was threatened with torture and being burnt alive. Under duress he recanted. He was imprisoned in Rome and later sent to an enforced internal exile to the Tuscan hills where he was able to continue his research.
His methods permanently changed the practice of science for which he has been called “The father of Science”. Andrew Marr, in his book “A History of the World” wrote: “Rough and garrulous Galileo of Pisa, born at the right time to understand the solar system; born in the wrong place to explain how it works”.

Mankind’s desire to express the joys of life, the mourning of loved ones or to gyrate in rituals and festivals brought about the invention of the very first musical instruments now lost in the distant reaches of time. In time, the instruments evolved and developed independently
in every country and spread among civilizations in step with changing applications and local cultures.

Τhe 34c stamp of the Europa issue illustrates a flute known as the “Pithkiavlin” in the Cypriot dialect. Archaeological excavations in Cyprus unearthed clay idols from the 7th and 6th centuries BC playing the flute and other instruments, thus making the flute the most ancient
Cypriot wind instrument. The earliest known flute from the Aurignacian archaeological culture dating back to about 40,000 years was found in Germany. This constitutes evidence of the early beginnings of human culture.
The 51c stamp depicts the lute, known as the “Laouton”in Cyprus. It is the main string instrument which rhythmically accompanies the violin in Cypriot folk songs and dance melodies in which men and women dance separately or jointly.
The “Laouton” has four double strings which are tuned in five courses: Do-Sol-Re-La.

An account of the resource
Τhe seasons occur as a result of the yearly revolution of the earth around the sun and the tilt of the earth’s axis relative to the plane of revolution.
The four seasons divide the year into quarters which are marked by changes not only in ecology and weather but also in daylight hours. The seasons in the Northern Hemisphere are opposite to those in the Southern, thus the March equinox in the Northern Hemisphere heralds
the start of Spring and the start of Autumn in the Southern.
Spring, the most glorious of the four seasons, denotes rebirth and growth when nature celebrates the blooming of life in the valleys and in the mountains, when wild flowers burst from their winter slumber, when animals awake from their hibernation and when trees regain their green leaves. It is a time of joy, a time to rejoice in the wonders of nature and a time for Resurrection and hope. In many calendars important events coincide with a variety of cultural and religious observations and customs.
Cyprus in springtime is magical and the countryside the perfect setting for a picnic.
Summer harbours warm weather and longer days, and while autumn is a time of harvesting, winter is a time of storing and conserving as daylight hours grow shorter and shorter with every passing day.
